Classic Country Coe

EMUSIC-01C4E250

This guy sings a lot of my old classic country favorites. On this album, I particularly like "You Never Even Called Me by My Name", take This Job and Shove It, "This Bottle" and "The Ride".

David Allen Coe: The Real Rhinestone Cowboy

kenph

Coe was one of the leaders of the short lived but refreshing " Progressive Country" movement. These were some of the first country artist to get air play on mainstream AOR radio. I grew up hearing Coe on the Dallas airwaves in the 70's and this brings back memories. This is the single best collection of his best work that I have ever heard. If you don't already have this one, download it now.

17 Greatest Hits is the most thorough retrospective assembled of David Allan Coe’s outlaw heyday, containing every one of his biggest hits — including “You Never Even Called Me by My Name,” “The Ride,” “Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile,” “Willie, Waylon and Me,” “Longhaired Redneck,” and “She Used to Love Me a Lot” — plus a wealth of minor hits and lesser-known album tracks. The result is a comprehensive overview of one of the most respected and admired, if not necessarily popular, country singers of the late ’70s and early ’80s. – Thom Owens
