This vibrant portrait captures the legendary Roger Miller, guitar in hand, standing confidently in the middle of a sunlit road… a fitting tribute to his timeless classic, “King of the Road.”
Roger Miller wasn’t just a pioneer of clever songwriting and unforgettable melodies, he was also a dear friend to my grandmother, Dottie West. She often called him her “songwriting mentor,” and his influence shaped so much of her own musical journey.
In this piece, I wanted to honor not only Roger’s playful spirit and musical genius, but also the personal bond he shared with my family. The golden highway lines pull your eyes straight toward him, a symbol of the path he paved in country music and the inspiration he left behind for generations to follow.
