5.0 out of 5 stars
An Outlaw Country Fan in New Orleans,
By A Customer
This review is from: For the Record: First 10 Years (Audio CD)
The other reviewers said this was THE Coe record. I gotta say it is! If you want to hear saloon-singin', get this. You can almost taste the sour whiskey and smell the smoke while Dave Allen Coe hits his licks.

The Quintessential Outlaw,
By tgfabthunderbird (York, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Record: First 10 Years (Audio CD)
I first came across David Allen Coe when I started DJing country music in the early 80's. Stations I grew up listening to didn't play his stuff at all, but I found out quick who he was, and his influence on the Outlaw movement, and that as a songwriter.
This is a best-of collection, mostly the radio hits, with a few interesting extras, "Jody Like A Melody" being one. That was a B-side which he still does live (as he says in the notes). Look for his 70's vintage albums, when he truly was a rocking outlaw, and the rare "Penitentiary Blues." This is a blues album, and it is very neat stuff. While the consultants and Madison Avenue types have hijacked country music in favor of GQ models and cheerleaders who couldn't cut it as pop singers, there are still outlaws that do it the right way...Coe is one of the few left, along with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and a few more. While he may look like Kid Rock's dad nowadays, the man does what he wants, how he wants and IF he wants. DAC rules!

3.0 out of 5 stars
CD different from cassette,
By Buck Dempsey (South Central WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Record: First 10 Years (Audio CD)
This is a 5 star album in cassette form. I have recently been updating my old cassette collection to CDs (very difficult in some cases). I purchased this CD only to find that one of the best songs on it has been altered in CD form. The cassette version of "The Ride" includes a final verse of DAC talking as Hank saying, "Now you got alot of competition out there son. It's not like it was in the 50's when I was here. I mean you got Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, and Billy Joe Shafer, and David Allan Coe, and you even got my son."Both versions of the song are the same length, but the CD just plays out in instrumental while the cassette has the above additional words. Can anyone explain this discrepancy? What CD has the additional verse version of "The Ride" on it?
