That bass is awesome Toni!
It really is. I enjoy it more than in the original song.
Roger Miller would have been grinning from ear to ear listening to you two doing a cover of this song ... I know I was. Roger Miller recorded sooo many great songs, including one called the " Tom Green county fair" ... which just happens to be ... the county I currently live in and was also born in 63 years ago! If ya'll get a hankering to do another one of his tunes, listen to that one and give it a try! Also, try "You can't roller skate in a Buffalo herd" ...lol... that one is a lot of fun to perform, I did a lot of his songs years ago when me and a friend and mine would go to some of the Old folks homes (Nursing homes) and perform for the residents! Ya'll keep doin that thing y'all do on Sunday mornings, I don't always get the chance to watch ya'll every Sunday, but I try to! Take care ya'll and stay safe!👍👍😎 ... Ooh, I forgot to say where Tom Green County is ... it's in Texas ... of course! Ya'll should visit here someday after this pandemic is over with! Bye Ya'll! 👍👍😎 ( UPDATE 2021: ...
Yeppers, that's me in the picture with the Cowboy hat! I decided I had used that meme of " Music is my Escape from all Bullshit in the world!" ... long enough .... Y'all have a awesome weekend ... ya hear! 👍👍🤠 )
I remember listening to King of the Road in my parents car on the radio when I was a little kid......as well as "Downtown" by Petula Clark.
May dad, who was also my best friend, used to sing this song to me as a little girl. He was born in 1928 so this song was on the radio during his lifetime. Sundays were our days always together growing up. Thank you for evoking this fond memory and filling my heart to overflowing this morning 💕
I grew up to this song as well. My mom is a huge Roger Miller fan...
Beautiful Sentiment 🤗💚
Ha, that song was on WAKR AM during _my_ lifetime! Oh, never mind, I'm kinda old.
Sounds like magical times.
same. my dad was 5 years older than yours. him singing this is one of the few good memories I have of him.
When I was 9 in 1966, my family took a trip from our home in Ann Arbor, Michigan out west for a pop-up camping trip to the Grand Tetons, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon, among other places. While on the road in our Ford Fairlane station wagon this hit was playing constantly and the whole family was really loving it. Miller was hot at that time, so we also heard "Dang Me" a bit too, which came out the prior year. Ever since then, I was a big Roger Miller fan, even though I've never been a huge country music aficionado. Listening to him again really brings back some cherished memories.
You two are a national treasure ❤️
And then there's Toni.
Not only is she a first rate guitarist, but she can thump the bass with the best of 'em
I love how you ladies honor the older musicians and their songs!! Love this cover and setting so much.
Great music, but i gotta say the thumbnail evoked Thelma and Louise 😂😂😂
My father used to play and sing this to me when I was little. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Im from Middle East, this song make me feeling emotional, very wonderful ❤️🎵
All about that bass!
What taste! What lines!
ofc
@@MEMEMEMES Yesss! McCartney check out Ms. Toni's Bass lines!
The road goes on forever and the party never ends😊
Love Willie singing that song
"And the road goes on forever...Midnight rider."

Exactly
I remember listening to this song when I returned back to the USA in a supply room "singing along" I was interrupted by my Sergeant Major who was greeting me back home from deployment. Hearing it always reminds me of that day. A young kid coming home. Thank You for the memory.
Thank you for your service Ed. Greatly appreciated.
I think I was on that road. New Mexico? Love this song, my Dad used to play it when we were kids. Love you two.
Another sweet cover. Love the Queen's sassy vocals on this great ol' tune. And then there's the phenomenal Toni, playing walking bass like she owns it. When I was in the depths of a personal tragedy a few years ago, I discovered RdC and listened to everything they had available. It helped to heal me and bring me back to life. You ladies rock, and then some.
I just love the sheer joy they seem to have in playing music. They have made me smile on Sunday Mornings for months now. Toni just can't contain her joyous smile while she plays at times. It is contagious...
This song always reminds me of my father. He loved this song and sang it all the time. He’s been gone since 2006, thanks for the memories!
You guys can really bring back the past for us. I was never a Bob Dylan fan until you two did "When I Paint My Masterpiece" and now Roger Miller.
Those are classics and these ladies were raised well and well versed on music. Evidence of how talented and intelligent they truly are!
This is a song that just makes you smile! Great cover ladies!!
Ok, you two are killing me with that cord plugged into each of your instruments. I was like "they're going run out soon..." and then I hit the floor laughing. Pure class, every time.
Killer! Out-freakin’-standing!!! This tune will be in my head all day...and it’ll be the pep in my step. Perfect for Sunday. Thank you, Ladies! ✌️❤️☕️
I inherited my dad's old tube AM radio in the 60s I remember hearing this song every couple of hours, of course I was to young to understand what it was about. Thank you ladies for bringing back to life
Great job, ladies! I remember hearing that song in the 60's as a small boy....
One of my dad's favorites. Still remember him singing to the Roger Miller version. He turned me onto Reina Del Cid so very appropros. Thanks gals!
RCD your clear enunciation of words as you sing is a most pleasant change. Well done.
Love Roger Miller! I was introduced to him by the Muppet Show in the late 70s. Thanks for including him!
Nice job ladies. Roger Miller was always one of my favorite artists. This was his first and probably biggest hit ever.
Wasn't the flip-side "Cant Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd?"
Actually Roger had several Top 40 hits on The U.S. Country Music charts before "King of The Road". In 1960 his "In The
Summertime" went to #14. In 1961 "When Two Worlds Collide" went to #6( Jim Reeves covered it). In 1964 " Dang Me"
went to #1 and "Chug a Lug" to #3. "King of The Road" was his first cross over hit and yes it was his biggest selling single.
@@jerrybrownell3633 "Dang Me" never fails to crack me up.
@@fenderjag114 - Yes. Roger was one of the funniest and wittiest guys on the scene. Had a rare talent for lyrics. Do
you remember the answer song to "Dang Me"? It was "Dern Ya" also written by Roger and Justin Tubb( the son of Ernest
Tubb). Ruby Wright the daughter of Kitty Wells recorded it-also in 1964. You can hear it on UA-cam.
@@jerrybrownell3633 I didn't know that one! Will check it out.
Suspicion... and then the ending was priceless.
Rey de la carretera
Loved it. All through the version I kept hoping they'd finish by walking away down the road. They did. And...
All the instruments brought to bear on this effort were perfect. Once again, the greatest find a way to bring joy during trying times. You two are the greatest...
Took me way, way back and one of my favorite old songs. Smiling, just smiling. Thank you and safe travels to the land down under.
Haha I do that in my living room. I walk away holding the guitar and forget it's plugged in and the Amp comes crashing down . Sucks getting old and forgetful. Love you two.
"H6 stuffed into the back of Toni's pants"! Masterpiece of mobile recording...can't be done better than this. Thank You!
Didn't catch that. I saw the cable running between them and thought it odd. Now I know. Thanks.
thanks. I thought they prerecorded and the cable was a joke. noticed that Toni had an earpiece.
Nils Pettersson how did they get that with no wind noise? great voices!
@@FromTheNard it says Shure MV 88+ microphone was hidden in her, Reina's (Rachelle's) shirt
growing up my Mom would frequently have Roger Miller on her phonograph... happy memories here to this tune. thank ya'll for this oldie and goodie.
Roger Miller would have enjoyed that. I know I did!
Me too. July 27. Good finger snapping. We're not in Minn. anymore.
They put a smile on Rogers face in the hereafter.
Oh my gosh, that bass line 👏
Can listen to you allday long. The sound is crisp and clear. Love this!!
I don't normally comment on UA-cam videos, but I really can't tell you how soul cleansing these Sunday mornings are. For 2-4 minutes nearly every week you two help me clear all if the BS from last week and start anew with a clean slate. Thank you very much. Happy Sunday Morning Guys.
Perfect setting!
I have played this song myself a thousand times in bars, on terraces in Amsterdam as a busker, lots of memories,it’s a song that everyone loves, nice to hear it from you guys, good version!
Love that ladies!! That song reminds me of the many summers we spent camping in a travel trailer, mainly in the 60's. I remember as a kid hearing that song often on a country music radio station that we listened to on a transistor radio. Lovely rendition!!
Always loved Roger Miller. He was taught how to play the guitar as a kid in Oklahoma by his neighbor and slightly older family friend Sheb Woolley who later became an actor and singer. He had a hit in the late ‘50’s with “purple people eater”. He also recorder with an alter ego Name, Ben Colter. Much like Garth Brooks recorded an album using the name Chris Gaines.
Loved that song since I was a kid. Great version.
I love that you sing all the old songs that I love so much
Great song! Always loved Roger Miller. You guys did a great rendition. Thank you
It doesn't get any more cooler than that. The two of you walking off toward them there mountains. Thank you very much ladies.
Love everything... singing, guitar, brilliant musical bass... and the landscape. Terrific.
I've had to listen several times to catch Reina's singing because I'm just mesmerized by Toni's base playing. As someone who was around when this was on the radio, to cool.
always makes me think of that scene in “into the wild”
Makes me think of when there were no cell phones and no drive thru junk food.
Fantastic! This was one of my all time favorite songs when I was about 10 years old in 1965.
That was Awesome! I love that song and your voice just fits that absolutely perfect. What a way to wake up to a beautiful sunday morning, and then you casually stroll off into the distance. Classic... Sunday complete!
I remember hearing 🤴 of the 🛣 on the radio 55 years ago when I was 9🤔. Great performance, lovely windswept ambiance 🤗🤗🤗🌹
I have become a huge fan - love the covers and great quality of playing and singing - thank you
Love that BASS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice job Toni
Lovely version. You really captured the spirit of the song.
I am in love with this singer's beautiful voice, the mellow bass, the song...
You did it again, AMAZING - I was singing along. BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else been a fan since youtube featured "Come Back Over" 11 years ago? My favorite thing is that she hasn't changed at all... she's always been perfect 💕 Fantastic song here 😭💕
Always loved this song, how could you not! You two did this justice. Where the hell are you?
Roger would applaud your cover
Outstanding. I've always loved that song. This could be my favorite version. Great base.
Two wonderful women make sensationally good music - the perfect Sunday!
So lovely cover. And professional work as always. And another happy Sunday afternoon for me 😊 Thank you.
Every time, every song .....I listen, watch and revel in awe and appreciation of you two exquisite performers. Much appreciated.
Smooth and sweet! Great job!
The perfect "This is my Dad's" jam!😊
My mom shot a Super 8 video of me doing a cover of this in 1969, I was 6. She had it converted over to DVD before she passed. Still sing this song, but always reminds me of my mom now.
One of dads favourites, RIP. Ole man.
mine too.
Big smile - have not heard this in years, good memories -
you sure do discover some of the gems of my youth.
.. nice arrangement - finger snaps, fine bass -
one of the great things of our old songs is the creativity and variety used
.. you gals do a great job at that.
wow, great job ! almost as good as ole Roger himself. I had forgotten about that song,,thanks for bringing back old memories....
Song from my childhood made me so happy i cryed. Back in the day when we had no tvs. Just music,card games, and lots of cousins. Good times.
I love this song. Listening to you two lovely ladies sing and play it, just made my afternoon a bit brighter.
By the way, I just took a snapshot. How can there only be 12 views and 82 likes? Sounds like UA-cam is playing their games again.
Quite simple explanation really: Likes are registered instantly but views are only registered at intervals. It often happens when a video is fairly new and there are numerous views..
God Bless these Astounding Artists! I'm 70 years young, but you both made me fall in Love with Music Again! Musical Perfection here. McCartney eat your heart out, check Ms. Toni's Bass lines! ❤️
Wonderful! From Rio de Janeiro.
I have visited Usiminas-Steel in ipatinga brazil twice.
As pessoas do Brasil são muito legais. Muitas felicidades dos Estados Unidos.
@@rondail5675 very nice - usiminas is one of the top steel producers in the whole world!
Toni...👌👌👌👌so talented ..always perfect👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Un saludo guapísimas desde españa
Y muchísimo animo que para eso sois las mejores.👏👏👋👍
I was at a child’s camp in the summer of 67 and this was on the radio a lot there and of course everywhere else, love it! Sort of in a similar vein as A thousand miles from nowhere, guys who don’t belong anywhere except where they are now- be here now, get out of your head
Greetings from Oz: I look forward to your Sunday morning music installments. Great Fun. Hope to see you down here in Sydney... but don't think Nov 2020 show will happen. Maybe see you 2021. Cheers!
Thanks. One of the first songs I learned to sing from the radio growing up. Great cover of a great song!
Impresionante, una de las mejores versiones que he escuchado.
It's gotta be great to get nice(I don't speak it) comments from other countries in their own languages.
Beleza Pura!
Loved all Roger's songs. Im from that generation and really enjoyed you singing this for us. Thanks!
Very nice! Roger Miller is another we lost far too early.
How long was your extension cord? 😊
Look close, they're hooked to the same cord.
@@budlistar5312 I thought the same thing but No, Toni has an orange cord on her bass (2:12) and the recorder in her back pocket(?). (2:19)
@@ddjack59 maybe they're both plugged into Toni's pocket but you can see them both pull on the cord when it gets caught on the grass. Whatever it is, it's darn good music.
@@budlistar5312 , other recordings have featured a Zoom H6. Neat little device that would easily fit up Toni's cardi. Check out these, where it is on display. ua-cam.com/video/NoGRUjTNSng/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/RI16dMyPZh4/v-deo.html
Chugalug Chugalug...
Pure and simple. Perfict.
Toni's guitar playing is next level and with the wind blowing through her hair is pretty easy on the eyes.
One of my favorite songs. Thank you!
Sorry you had to leave so soon...lol Great Stuff! Thanks from....Bangor Maine : ))
The paper towel to quiet the bass strings is a new trick for me. I'd never come across it ... until I watched your vid and did some googling. I guess you do learn something new every day!
Good version of a classic by the way. Thanks for three minutes of aural bliss.
Cheers
Goddamn what a great old song. a rambling, exultant & sideways moment in time for a man on his own. One of my pops favorites. So cool to find a cover as good as this.
My dad and I also sang this together. We listened to this on the local country station. Brings back memories
Now you have to sing "Big Rock Candy Mountain".
Also, “Hobo’s Lullaby.”
“Life of a poor boy “.
What does that song have to do with "King..." I request "Dang Me"!
@@kitano0 Both are about hobos and tramps and have a similar feel to them.
One of my favorites. Brilliant... again!
Vocês são fera,curto muito suas músicas,cantam e tocam muito,sou fã de vocês.
Curtindo aqui de Minas Gerais- Brasil 🇧🇷
Congratulation 🇱🇷

Reminds me of my father in law. He sang this one night at karaoke and I was blown away he could actually sing. Thanks.
More bass...cowbell need not apply
The bass volume was perfect on my speakers. Suggest you try headphones or better speakers.
Yes Tony killed it. That walking Bass was absolutely Badass!
I live on the coast of Maine so of coarse I love the line about Bangor Maine...I live about an hour south of Bangor.....great job !!!
Loved Roger Miller growing up! Try "Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Heard" lol
"You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd. You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd but you can be happy if you've a mind to". " You can't take a shower in a parakeet cage. You can't take a shower in a parakeet cage.But you can be happy if you've a mind too". " All you gotta do is put your mind to it. Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it,do it". "You can't change clothes with a kid on your back. You can't change clothes with a kid on your back". But you can be happy if you've a mind to". "You can't go swimming in a baseball pool. You can't go swimming in a baseball pool".
@@jerrybrownell3633 I saw an interview one time where they asked Roger,how he came up with all these clever, hilarious tunes,and he replied "Well, I smoke a lot of pot" lmao
@@garylindsey5174 Roger was only 56 when he died of lung cancer. Another of the greats gone too soon.
@@jerrybrownell3633 That's for sure.
King of the Road is a classic song that has so many memories attach to it and you two nailed it. Awesome.
First thought: if Reina gets into playing solo part too much again, now Tony's got a long bass arm to nudge.
Just played and sang along for a few times. Love it. Thank you.
5 seconds in and I already clicked "Like".
I don't waste any time like that. I hit the like button before the video starts, because I know I'm going to like it. :D
Reina’s voice is exquisite on this one. Perfect rendition. Wonderful video conceptually. Most importantly it made me smile and want to watch it now a third time.
I can't get enough of the two of you two. When ever I need some cheering up, you ladies always get me to smile.
Thank you so much
Brilliant. Only sad thing is, I was around when Roger M did it. Quite depressing!!!!
Phil🙃
that shouldn't be depressing! Ol' Roger Miller was an American Treasure, I enjoyed watching him on TV when I was a kid!
A favourite song from my youth. And coolly done. Many thanks.
