Synopsis

Amazon.com
Despite the claim of the title, David Allan Coe only put three songs in country's top 10, but he remains a cult figure. On self-referential mid-1970s classics like "Longhaired Redneck" and "Willie, Waylon and Me," Coe was able to simultaneously define, celebrate, and mock the so-called Outlaw country movement. In the '80s he began to rely more and more on other people's material, which made for some erratic times, though he still produced a few gems along the way, especially "The Ride," a song about meeting the ghost of Hank Williams. Longtime fans will have no use for this collection whatsoever, but for newcomers, the set will serve as a fairly accurate representation of Coe's career. Coe is not an essential figure in the genre's development, but certainly one worth getting to know at some point, if only for the handful of truly memorable cuts. --Marc Greilsamer

CD Reviews

Coe';s The Man
JS Hose | MI | 05/19/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I own probably 10 of his albums (all greatest hits collections, except his 1999 "Recommended For Airplay"), and this is a pretty good cross section of his hits (of which he had few). His considerable output of erratic material made for some lousy songs, although he did have some that were quite entertaining and well-written, most of which aren't included here. But for folks who want to get the bare bones best, here it is."
