Ties of Blood and Affection, Jeremy Pinnell, 2017, :32

Chosen at random, knowing nothing about it. I was pleasantly surprised. Good solid literate country rock. Favorite tracks: "The Ballad of 1892," "The Way We See Heaven."

Golden Hits, Roger Miller, 1965, :22
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents. We all know that one. I'm bending the rules a bit here, with this greatest hits comp instead of a real album. But I think Miller is mostly from the singles era, anyway. Not being familiar with his work outside of "King of the Road," I was surprised to find so many of his songs to be of the novelty genre. Favorite songs: "King of the Road," "Dang Me," "Chug-a-Lug."
