A Roger Miller tribute album that’s years in the making pairs old and new country stars with some less likely celebrities.

Songwriting that netted 11 Grammy awards in two years and a Tony award for Big River, a 1985 musical based on Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, impacted both Lower Broadway and highfalutin Broadway over the years.

Along the way, the Texas-born, Oklahoma-raised Miller introduced country music to a wider audience with his silly and sincere songs.

It should be no surprise that featured artists range from the legendary Willie Nelson and neo-traditional country singer Kacey Musgraves to the pop-accessible Brad Paisley and even former Big River cast member John Goodman.

Miller’s son Dean Miller co-produced the album with Colby Barnum Wright of Wright of Center Music.

It arrives Aug. 31, nearly 26 years after the elder Miller’s 1992 death.
