Episode Details

Country music lost a true giant this past Saturday with the peaceful passing of Frankie Miller at age 95. A veteran of the Korean War and a chart-topping artist since his teenage years, Miller’s 1959 hit “Blackland Farmer” became a country and pop crossover smash. Known as the “Most Promising Country Artist” in 1960, he penned songs covered by legends like Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash, and shared stages with Willie Nelson — even performing with him at the Luck Reunion just years ago. In his nineties, he kept creating, touring globally, and releasing his memoir, “The Blackland Farmer: Life Among Country Music Legends.” His legacy lives on through his timeless tunes and his family — two daughters, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
