Fifty-nine years ago today, on March 27, 1965, Roger Miller‘s “King of the Road” hit No. 1 on the country charts. Produced by Jerry Kennedy, the song appears on 1965’s The Return of Roger Miller, and is an ode to the freewheeling road lifestyle. The protagonist of “King of the Road” hints at doing nefarious things to get by (he knows “every lock that ain’t locked when no one’s around”) but also knows all the shortcuts to surviving on a tight budget: “I sing, ‘Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, 50 cents / No phone, no pool, no pets / I ain’t got no cigarettes.” Miller recorded “King of th...

Pearl Jam have released “Running,” the latest song from their upcoming album Dark Matter. With a flurry of guitars, propulsive drumming and frenzied vocals from frontman Eddie Vedder, “Running” is one of the most punk-leaning songs in Pearl Jam’s arsenal. In the lyrics, Vedder rails against a “Dictator, love hater” who has him “running ’till the second coming.” The tune’s chorus brings echoes that anxiety, as Vedder sings: “Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel’s getting funneled / Like the sewage in the plumbing / ‘Cause we left the fucking water running.” Later, the tune momentarily breaks down ...

But it has other elements and can often get progressive and doomy, as evidenced here.

Fourteen years ago today, on March 12, 2010, Miranda Lambert struck gold. It was on that date that her single “White Liar,” from her 2009 album Revolution, was certified Gold, for sales of 500,000 units. “White Liar,” written by Lambert and Natalie Hemby, was the second single released from Revolution. “I was listening to a lot of Buddy and Julie Miller,” Lambert recalls to The Boot about writing the hit song. “They have great music — somewhat bluegrass, but it’s pretty rockin’, too.
