The 3rd Time Around is the third studio album by American country music singer Roger Miller. It was released under the Smash Records label in June 1965[2] (see 1965 in country music). The record reached #1 on the country album charts and #13 on the Billboard 200, his third highest ranking on the pop albums charts, and his only #1 country album.[3]
Four singles were released from the album: "Engine Engine #9," "One Dyin' and a Buryin'", "Kansas City Star", and "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me". The first three all peaked in the top 10 on the Country singles chart. "Engine, Engine #9" was also a top 10 crossover hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks as was "Kansas City Star" on the latter chart. "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me" did not fare as well. It was later recorded by Eddy Arnold, whose version was a #2 country hit in 1966,[4] and by NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw, whose version was also a hit on the country charts.
3rd Time was cited as a return to the "honky tonk roots" of Roger Miller.[5]
