| | David Allan Coe Headed For The Country CD David Allan Coe Discography of CDs
Outside of the smash "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile," Headed for the Country focuses primarily on minor David Allan Coe hits like "Tennessee Whiskey," "Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat," and "Face to Face" -- much of the material is worthwhile, but it's not the best introduction to Coe's music. ~ Hank Small
Personnel: David Allan Coe (vocals, guitar).

Purchase Headed For The Country CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | David Allan Coe Castles In The Sand/Once Upon A Rhyme CDs (1999)
Headed For The Country album
$10.69 This set is typical of the Collectables label's bizarre and unexplainable pairing strategies. This two-fer repackages outlaw country singer/songwriter David Allan Coe's 1983 Castles in the Sand and 1975's Once Upon a Rhyme. The former record scored on the charts a pair of singles ("Cheap Thrills," "The Ride"), neither of which Coe wrote. Along with these cuts is the strange title track, which is a backwards tribute to Bob Dylan followed by a cover of his "Gotta Serve Somebody" with Lacy J. Dalton. This very modern-sounding album is contrasted with the 1975 classic Once Upon a Rhyme, produced by Ron Bledsoe, which featured the timeless "Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)," "Jody Like a Memory," and a definitive cover of Steve Goodman's "You Never Even Called Me by My Name." The latter, despite its age, is the superior recording in that it features Coe's strongest songs, ...
| | David Allan Coe Longhaired Redneck/Rides Again CD (1994) (Import) Germany
Headed For The Country CD music
$18.55 Long Haired Redneck/Rides Again is the second volume in Bear Family's David Allan Coe two-fer series of his work at Columbia Records from 1974-1981. This pair of albums, released in 1976 and 1977, respectively -- his third and fourth albums for the label -- find Coe aligning himself completely with the Willie, Waylon, and Billy Joe Shaver "outlaw" movement -- as if he ever had to try. Coming on the heels of his first Top Ten hit, a cover of Steve Goodman's "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" from Once Upon a Rhyme, Longhaired Redneck is one of Coe's finest records. He either wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, and the title track became his anthem. In addition, the haunting ballad "Revenge," "Free Born Rambling Man," and "Living on the Run" are hallmarks of his best work as a songwriter and as a performer. Rides Again is an altogether different affair. While Coe once again wrote or co-wrote all but one of the album's ten tracks, it is also the beginning of a darkly cynical period in his work, featuring such tracks as ...
| | David Allan Coe Tattoo/Family Album CD (1995) (Import) Germany
Headed For The Country music CDs
$21.19 Tattoo and Family Album mark singer/songwriter David Allan Coe's fifth and sixth albums for Columbia, respectively, issued in 1977 and 1978. They also make up the third volume of Bear Family's Columbia Records retrospective covering the years 1974-1981. The issue of Tattoo marked the third album Coe issued in 1977. First there was the often-angry Rides Again, where the "Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy" made his final recorded appearance; then the self-released Texas Moon, recorded on the road; and finally Tattoo. Tattoo also marks the beginning of Coe's association with Billy Sherrill (though Ron Bledsoe would remain with him until 1980's Invictus Means Unconcquered). Tattoo and Family Album mark a far more sensitive side of Coe. Tattoo features more love songs than most Coe records, and there are some fine ones, such as "Just to Prove My Love for You," "Face to Face," "You'll Always Live Inside of Me," and "Just in Time (To Watch Love Die)." Family Album centers more on the connection to one's roots and connections not only between Coe and his family of origin (raised a Mormon, he was the son of polygamy), but his progeny and the concept of ...

Headed For The Country CD music
$11.89 This is a spoken word album including stories about David Allan Coe's life, career, and experiences with the music business.
This is a double-CD audio book that David Allan Coe, the king of country outlaws, recorded in 1997. This picks up where Coe's autobiography left off. And this is the no-holds-barred story of Coe's life from the late '70s up until that time. All the stories are here, the tales of abuses, fame, power, wife beating, being beaten, broken marriages, children reared and responsibility, struggles with the IRS, lawsuits, ripoffs inside and outside the music biz, betrayals, family alcoholism, bad craziness, poor business and relationship decisions, and most of all, acceptance of personal flaws, mistakes, and accomplishments. According to Coe, "Right is right and wrong is wrong, but you have to stand for somethin' or you'll fall for anything." Coe comes off not as a complainer, not as a boaster, not as the outlaw braggart who was sometimes the Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy and sometimes David Allan Coe in concert, but as a man who has done virtually everything and lived to tell about it, who is grateful for what he has, and is bemused by the things stolen from him, whether they be money, songs, women, reputation, etc.
But Coe never comes off as bitter, hateful, or even angry. He is as bewildered by some of the turns his life has taken as those who ...
