That Roy song in the "free range chicken" GEICO commercial = Ride Away, from his post Monument = MGM years. Interesting, it's the first MGM hit single he had on MGM, from August 1965, peaked at # 25 in Billboard, and was his highest charting MGM single in the US.

That Geico commercial has been in heavy rotation at our local theaters for a couple of months now.
