Classic Anthology Review: David Allen Coe | The Essential

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


The scariest man in country finally gets what’s coming to him: A halfway decent retrospective. Buy it or he’ll pay you a visit some dark night.

Songs: 14.

Actual Hits: Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone), Willie, Waylon and Me, Take This Job and Shove It.

Missing In Action: Anything from the last 17 years.

Extras! Extras! Apparently, bonus tracks do not qualify as essential to Coe.
