Editorial Reviews

Country renegade David Allan Coe was incredibly prolific: during 13 years with Columbia Records, he released almost two LPs a year. This CD focuses on the years 1982-85. Rough Rider and DAC come from 1982 and the mostly self-composed songs chart Coe's tempestuous life during this time. As Coe himself says, 'Here's another chapter in the never-ending romance of David Allan Coe's life.' Based in Florida, he was not only writing enough great songs to fill two LPs, but a book about his prison experience (and how to survive prison - if you happen to be there). Coe himself provides detailed song-by-song commentaries, mapping the words to his life. This CD includes two original LPs plus bonus material.

Germany's Bear Family Records introduces thier seventh volume in David Allan Coe's reissues of his recordings for Columbia Records from 1974 to 1987. Here was have the two albums Rough Rider (1981) and DAC (1982). The dawn of the new decade shows DAC toning down the hard-edged rock sound of earlier albums such as Longhaired Redneck and Rides Again and pursuing more delicate sound in the many tender love songs found here. Don't let that scare you off, it's still David Allan Coe! These albums are interesting because they are fitting if you're currently happy and in love yet can also be a personal soundtrack if you're heartbroken. The final three songs on the DAC album are classic Coe with the last note of each song being the first of the next. Featuring Warren Haynes on guitar, who got his start with Coe and would later go on to the Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule.

Four bonus tracks end the disc although there's no info as to where they came from. My guess is they're from around 1975 or 1976. We have outakes of the previously released tracks "Would You Be My Lady" and "Freeborn Ramblin' Man" as well as the beautiful "Couples" and the straight country-blues of "David's Blues".

Newcomers to Coe's music, I would advise to start at the beggening of Bear Family's Coe reissues and follow his career as it evolved. Those of us who already have everything by DAC, you'll love this reissue two-fer with origional album cover reproductions, rare photos and lyrics.
