Roger Miller and Glen Campbell Can't Lose.

This is a hard one to find. Thanks for the great audio!

Our pleasure! 🎵

Interesting. I never heard this time. Definitely a Roger Miller composition. Glen was still mostly working as a busy recording studio guitarist.

[@kdub6593]

His guitar playing is way underrated.

[@danielburns987]

this song only went to #114 on the pop charts in 1965!!!

[@JohnRedshaw]

A Roger Miller tune. It sure sounds like his style. Glen developed more of his own style.

[@d.a.elliottjr.367]

I never knew Glen Campbell covered this.

[@williedegee1]

He sounds like George Jones goes San Francisco...

[@andrewphilbrick1790]

Sounds kind of Buck Owensish too.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Now that you mention it, yeah.

The song sounds a bit plagiarized from Louisiana Man, and it is very short, a typical Roger Miller composition length, as he himself specialized in very short records, some lasting well under two minutes.
