I've sung Pussy Whipped Again to my boys when I think some young lass is getting her talons in too deep.

Still pound out Jack Daniel's If You Please every time I reach for a bottle of Jack. Will be doing that tonight I reckon.

I'll play some Coe in the Jeep on the trails this weekend no doubt. Along with a healthy dose of his good buddy Hank Three.

I remember being at French Quarters around 2004 and someone put $20 in the jukebox of all his songs. They didn’t edit anything back then and people were turning heads once the racist songs came on.

It’s crazy the amount of people that don’t know his vulgar racist songs. Those are gold

First and only time I saw DAC was at the Country Music fest at the fairgrounds in B.R. Fall of 75 with Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, DAC and a few others

I was at that event too. I remember him singing "I'm goin to f*ck the s*it out of you over and over.

It was 51 years ago today (April 19, 1975) that the Second Annual “Louisiana Country Music Jamboree” took place at the State Fairgrounds in Baton Rouge.
A “Space Cowboy” production, the line-up included, Willie Nelson, the pride of Fort Worth, Texas, The Lost Gonzo Band, a country-rock group out of Austin, Jerry Jeff Walker, a cowboy born in New York, the Gulf Coast’s own Jimmy Buffet of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Birmingham, Alabama-born Willis Alan Ramsey and the “King of Zydeco,” Clifton Chenier & His Red Hot Louisiana Band out of Opelousas.

People who can actually write are thinking about things differently than blunt internet know-it-alls.

He played at the Kingfish off of Perkins Raid in the summer of 1979. Small dive bar packed with motorcycle gangs and cowboys. He put on a great show and was drunk as hell and late to the stage. Had feather earrings as I recall.

The big reveal in The Ride is pretty awesome the first time you hear it


I've heard it 1,000 times, and it still gives me a chill when he hits that line. "You don't have to call me Mister, Mister, ..."
If you like that aspect of the song, you may like the song "The Guitar" by Guy Clark. I recently heard it for the first time and had the same reaction to the big reveal at the end.

Worked an off duty detail at one of his shows.

You could smell his bus a long ways away LOL

They smoked pot and drank nonstop the whole 4 days they were parked there but we didnt hassle them.

They only thing they were hurting was stripper poosie.

He was cool guy and so was his band.

Replying to no one in particular …

DAC really was an amazing singer. He wrote some incredible songs (such as Shove it) that were big hits but he also did wonderful versions of songs like Please Come to Boston.

I saw him at Gretna Fest 8-10 years ago and totally enjoyed it, but it was weird bc even though he had a full band, they were playing over at least some recorded parts, backup singers who weren’t there and maybe some other stuff. Very strange but very fun.
