Man, oh man, do I miss Roger Miller! Roger's version of this classic has to have been one of the most popular country songs of the 1960s. And thanks to Roger's inimitable voice, it had a great crossover following as well. Roger was the first person who taught us all that you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd. And btw Britt, a "man of means" is a person with a little jingle in his jeans to buy the things he needs. A "man of means by no means" is a guy whose jeans are jingle-less. Hope that helps.
These were Hobo's who during the depression rode the box cars around the country looking for work to eat or have a place to sleep. They were the Kings of the Road, successfully unsuccessful.
My grandfather did this for a few years. I always think of him when I hear this and wish I had been old enough to get stories from him. Apparently he rarely discussed it with my mom. Oh well.
I was fortunate enough to see Randy Travis when he was just starting out at our little county fair. I'll never forget just how his voice thrilled everyone who was in attendance. The venue was small but back in those days whenever someone played at our small fair it would be packed full because we were so grateful to have live music. I hadn't heard much of his music but I became a fan instantly buying his albums with my babysitting money. ❤
If you love baritone voices in country, you need to go down the Trace Adkins rabbit hole. Given we just had Memorial Day, listen to his song “Arlington”
Randy Travis did a fabulous version of Jingle Bell Rock for a Christmas album promoting the Special Olympics. It is one of my favorites. He is a phenomenal talent! There aren't many who could keep up with him vocally, but Josh Turner is one of them. Just Wow! If you want some swoon-worthy songs by Josh, check out Your Man, Would You Go With Me, Soulmate, or The Longer the Waiting The Sweeter The Kiss. He is a happily married good Christian man, but that doesn't mean he isn't smoking hot, or that he doesn't belong in the PDC. My sister and some of my friends about lost their minds when they heard him sing. Me too!
nice to hear Roger Miller being remembered. I loved his novelty songs when I was kid! A good one to try would be Whistle Stop, it is the most likely to be recognized.
A SC and NC set of legendary voices combining to cover a truly masterful songwriter. Sitting in Upstate, SC i have loved this song since before this version was released. This one is another level.
"Honey on a Hot Biskit Voice" lol I've heard Randy's Voice described alot of ways, but that will stand out in My mind forever lol and if you liked this song you should hear the Original by Rodger Miller
Old school country forms a classic base for the genre but I for one feel the same spirit in much of contemporary country (home, heart and soul...via storytelling). Its all good if you enjoy it, there's no reason to be divisive or defensive about any music really. We enjoy what we enjoy, no right or wrong to it.
The original singer of this song is Roger Miller. He reminds me of a country artist version of Robin Williams. He's quirky, and actually kinda looks like Robin Williams.. But he was before Robin Williams. He also played the rooster, and was the narrator, and made the soundtrack for the classic Disney animation of Robin Hood, with the animal characters.. Another song by him: You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd.
They also teamed up to do one of Randy's big hits "Forever and Ever, Amen". Sadly, Randy is mostly confined to a wheelchair and as a result of his stroke developed aphasia which makes if difficult to communicate.
Roger Miller was a lyrical genius. "A man of means by no means"....is such a deep line. He's saying that he's rich but doing it without money. He's also saying he's broke. (Reread the line several times and you'll get it.) Roger had a million lines like that...he's just too much.
Britt, check out Johnny Cash cover of Blue Yodel Number Nine(Standing On The Corner) featuring Louis Armstrong on the trumpet from John’s t.v. show in 1970. The original version was from 1930ish with Jimmie Rodgers featuring Louis on the trumpet and Louis wife on the piano.
Two amazing voices. Putting them together ain't fair to the rest of us - they make you feel things, just from the sound waves hitting you! This is a classic song from Roger Miller - he's got some stuff worth checking out. Historically there's a good number of songs about the hobo lifestyle. Hopping trains, working odd jobs for a meal, just blowing around America like a tumbleweed.
If you love the deep voices you should check out The Hu. They are from Mongolia and use traditional instruments. You might need to turn on captions and translate but you would love the voices. Try "wolf totem" or "yuve yuve yu" as starters. "Wolf totem" is about Gengis Kahn probably the most famous and influential Mongol of all time.
I think the ‘I am a man of means, by no means’, is saying he is NOT a man of means. Because he is a hobo just drifting along. This is a very old song. I remember it from when I was a very young girl. Randy would have been very young g when this song came out and Josh would not have even been born yet. I think this song came out sometime in the early or mid 1960’s. I loved singing along with it on the radio. Roger Miller was the artist. And maybe wrote it?
A man of means is someone who can afford the finer things in life. The line "I'm a man of means by no means" can be rewritten as " I am in no way a man of means," The song was meant `to be a first hand narrative of a hobo telling about how he lives his life.
For another great version of this song with a bass lead check out Home Free’s cover from 2009. For the Home Fries out there, the bass on this album is Elliot Robinson, not Tim Foust. ua-cam.com/video/e4vpwcfF0TQ/v-deo.htmlsi=uMdHiJcj_n3onfwt
A man of means is someone with wealth/money. You correct saying that he’s saying that “by no means” is he a man of means, but as a hobo he still calls himself King of the Road.
![His DEEP VOICE made this STUPID GRIN permanent! 😅 | Josh Turner - I Wouldn't Be A Man [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
This is a classic Roger Miller song, from 1965.
Omg Travis and turner singing miller Heaven thank you

I love Randy Travis’ voice. One of the greatest country singers.

My grandfather did this for a few years. I always think of him when I hear this and wish I had been old enough to get stories from him. Apparently he rarely discussed it with my mom. Oh well.
Exactly, I wish it were made clear to people. Hobos were people that travelled from town to town to work....not to be confused with modern day bums.
A man of means is a wealthy man. He is saying he is broke.
Rodger Miller....great song writer. Thanks Rodger. these boys can sing.
It's a Roger Miller song. Thats a big rabbit hole sis.
Correction King of the Road was done by the rooster from Robinhood
@@BozemanjustinI thank you for that good ol' animated memory! Along with their great songs! 😢🎵😅
These are two of the most amazing singers ever. I saw these guys in concert together. One of the best I've ever been to

It's Just a Matter of Time is Randy Travis at his best!
My all time favorite
If you love baritone voices in country, you need to go down the Trace Adkins rabbit hole. Given we just had Memorial Day, listen to his song “Arlington”
I think "Ladies Love Country Boys" would also fit nicely!
Yes
You should do Randy Travis forever and ever

It should be against the law to have this much talent on stage! Great reaction!
I never knew that these two recorded or played together and this is a classic Roger Miller song. Chef's kiss!
you need to react to more Josh and Randy!!!
Thankyou for reacting to my faviorate country singer, Josh Turner.
This one is an absolute classic country song
You need to listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford 16 tons.
nice to hear Roger Miller being remembered. I loved his novelty songs when I was kid! A good one to try would be Whistle Stop, it is the most likely to be recognized.
This is country! So good
You should check out their duet of YOUR MAN😊😊👍👍
I've always Loved Randy Travis's voice!!!!
Love this song by Roger Miller .....They did a great job😁❤❤❤
Good choice! Peace, Love!!
Randy and Josh also combine to do Randy's song "Three Wooden Crosses" and Josh's song "Long Black Train". 😃❤️👍🏼
A SC and NC set of legendary voices combining to cover a truly masterful songwriter. Sitting in Upstate, SC i have loved this song since before this version was released. This one is another level.
I love the upstate!
"Honey on a Hot Biskit Voice" lol I've heard Randy's Voice described alot of ways, but that will stand out in My mind forever lol and if you liked this song you should hear the Original by Rodger Miller
Randy travis covered this song on his album and on this tv special josh amd randy covered each others songs together, great stuff
I think it means he has all of the best things in life that money can't buy.
Old school country forms a classic base for the genre but I for one feel the same spirit in much of contemporary country (home, heart and soul...via storytelling).

I like both their talents. I haven't heard the original of this one for many years.

RIP Roger Miller. This is classic country music. Ransy is from North Carolina and Josh from South Carolina so they were neighbors.
the whole concert was amazing
Josh Turner sings a great song called I'm Your Man
Two GREAT voices! 😊❤
So good 😊 Roger Miller would have loved this so much.
there was a great follow up to this song QUEEN OF THE HOUSE by Jody miller
This video is just one of a whole performance that was on CMT in which you can find here on the ol’ ‘Tube! Turner & Travis is GOLD.
They also teamed up to do one of Randy's big hits "Forever and Ever, Amen". Sadly, Randy is mostly confined to a wheelchair and as a result of his stroke developed aphasia which makes if difficult to communicate.

"I can't explain it but I get it" absolutely sister.......
Beautiful, thank you
If you like a good bass voice in a song, I recommend "Elvira" by the Oak Ridge Boys. A great song I think you will really like.
Love the shirt by the way. Thanks for this awesome reaction
Oh yes it is
Hi Britt this song is a classic from Roger Miller
🎼Destination Bangor Maine🎶
🤣
Three chords & the truth.
Their controls are on another level. Well done
This is country music. They were great doing Roger Miller's hit.
Yes mam! That’s good music 😊
Randy Travis was one of my celebrity crushes as a younin' 😂
Hey Britt, you should check out Terry Fator Ventriloquist. He won AGT, got a 50 million dollar contract in Vegas and has been there ever since.
Definitely check out the original by Roger Miller!
Aurora Lucky (Live at Nidarosdomen)Great singer
Britt, check out Johnny Cash cover of Blue Yodel Number Nine(Standing On The Corner) featuring Louis Armstrong on the trumpet from John’s t.v. show in 1970. The original version was from 1930ish with Jimmie Rodgers featuring Louis on the trumpet and Louis wife on the piano.

I know you like these guys, there is another by the two of them that is so cool. T.I.M.E.
Aman of means has money but he's a man of means by no means -- means he has no money!😂❤
Check out their duet Your Man from this same session
"I am a man of means (wealth) by no means (in no way)."
Rephrase: "In no way am I a wealthy man."
Uses two different meanings of the same word.
Really need to listen to his song Your Man
I think the ‘I am a man of means, by no means’, is saying he is NOT a man of means. Because he is a hobo just drifting along. This is a very old song. I remember it from when I was a very young girl.

- - - - - Do Wacka Do - - - - - Roger Miller . . . . . You're welcome.
Love this song. You like the low tones you should check out “Rainy night in Georgia” by Chris Young
Travis suffered a stroke, in 2013 and has not been able to sing, since then.
PDC! Haaaaaa, I love it. I have a play list that I would love to share with you.
This a great cover of Roger Miller's hit.
We also need to check Cindy Christmas my way❤
I dont think i have ever heard this song live 😮
YUM
It means hes a man who has nothing but has everything.
A man of means is someone who can afford the finer things in life. The line "I'm a man of means by no means" can be rewritten as " I am in no way a man of means," The song was meant `to be a first hand narrative of a hobo telling about how he lives his life.
Keep listening to Randy Travis, too. Try "Deeper Than The Holler".
You should definitely check out the song: T.I.M.E by Josh Turner and Randy Travis
For another great version of this song with a bass lead check out Home Free’s cover from 2009. For the Home Fries out there, the bass on this album is Elliot Robinson, not Tim Foust. ua-cam.com/video/e4vpwcfF0TQ/v-deo.htmlsi=uMdHiJcj_n3onfwt
❤❤❤❤
Britt you need to do Would you go with me by Josh Turner. You won't know which end is up 😂
You should react to the original OG Roger Miller. He was a treat! ♥️
You can’t shade Randy and Josh though!
That's the up right bass. That's what Kenny Rogers use to play
Forgot how much I like Josh Turner.
He’s so good!
If you wanna hear some bass gotta listen to Geoff Castelucci sixteen tons!
Britt you need some Mo Pittney. Great vids keep up the great work.
Please check out the Roger Miller original.
Boxcar Willie - Wabash Cannonball. For some reason this performance reminds me of this song and artist. Definitely not PDC however.
Check out Jerry Clower doing Uncle Versies Trial.
You need to check out Richard Goodall American got talent
"Would You Go With Me" by Josh Turner is another good one. Don't believe you did this one yet.
You should check out the Roger Miller version
A man of means is someone with wealth/money. You correct saying that he’s saying that “by no means” is he a man of means, but as a hobo he still calls himself King of the Road.
YOU NEED to check out Roger Miller, and the Statler Brothers ...
He’s saying with nothing he has all he needs!
I have no money, but I'm king of the road
Request please a mother and son duet cover rise up by Jordan Rabjohn they are really good
If you're going to PLAY King of the Road please play the original version written and sung by Roger Miller
For another Christian song by Josh try "Me and God"
