One of the record releases available this Labor Day weekend is “King of the Road: A Tribute to Roger Miller,” an all-star appreciation-fest for the legendary musical artist who died in 1992 at the age of 56.
Co-produced by Roger’s son, Dean Miller, the two-disc collection features Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Lyle Lovett, Alison Krauss, Dwight Yoakam, and many more!
Since their 2012 concert at the Electric Factory, Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers have kept Roger Miller’s signature song, King of the Road, almost consistently in their setlist, performed just as it was in this live 1987 version, as a number during Tommy’s acoustic set.
It's an audience sing-along! Tommy Conwell and his Young Rumblers perform "King of the Road" during the encore set at the Bayou in Washington, D.C., May 13, 1987.
Sidebar: King of the Road was also notably covered by Joe Strummer in live performances.
