...if you're listening to an album sure. His live shows are horrifyingly awful.

He is great musically, but the dude has some extremely racist songs he has released. They are quite intense.

The weirdest thing about that is I think he had a black drummer when he recorded it..

I wouldn't doubt it. My understanding is that he was trying to be funny but wasn't really racist. I will let others argue the consistency of that; I'm not going down that rabbit hole. But yeah, I could absolutely see him having a black drummer or even full band while recording those songs if he was strictly being tongue in cheek.

Yeah only like 3 or 4 from the actual album were racist, the rest were mainly over the top sexually related.. it was all done as a joke and he's apologized for it

the original Johnny Rebel (there were several imitations, just random mp3s with his name) was way more fricked up and just in bad taste in my opinion... and the dude was from Crowley of all places

Now I lay me down to cheat
On the woman I love so
And if I die between these sheets
I pray to God she'll never know

Mona Lisa lost her smile
The painter's hands are trembling now
And if she's out there running wild
It's just because I taught her how
The masterpiece that we had planned
Is laying shattered on the ground
Mona Lisa lost her smile
And the painter's hands are trembling now

Mama sells eggs at a grocery store
My oldest sister is a first-rate whore
Dad says she can't come home anymore
He means it

Cigarettes and whiskey
Calm my shaking hands
I just lost a lover to a one night stand
Something temporary too late I had to learn
Someone from her past
Said it couldn't last a bridge she could burn

"and to think I ate the P..."

If you look at his whole body of work, he’s got some great material (minus the racist stuff that is probably less than 10% of his catalogue). Focus on songs like the one below instead of the crap and you will have a better appreciation.

Elucidate this octogenarian please. Does that mean the OP likes David Allen Coe, or does it mean he doesn't?

TIA
