Editorial Reviews

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Coe';s The Man, May 19, 2000
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sound but Content Editing, August 18, 2008
By Thomas A. Holmes (Johnson City, TN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Aside from the fact that a whole lot more than sixteen great David Allan Coe songs could fit on this disc, potential buyers need to be aware that the version of "The Ride" on this disc lacks the recitation at the end; there is just the quickly faded instrumental outro. The HDCD formatting offers great sound, however, which these songs deserve.

5.0 out of 5 stars bare bones but brilliant, July 30, 2004
By Tank (USA) - See all my reviews
Die hard fans will have all these songs, but that doesn't mean this isn't an incredible collection of Coe. A+
