In Up & Coming:
David Allan Coe, Brent Amaker and the Rodeo, Philo Beddoe, Bullitt County(El Corazón) All right, he's a Mormon. And he plays guitar on a rig that's decorated with the Stars and Bars. And I'd probably hate him in real life. But David Allan Coe's got that outlaw country down just about perfect—what he lacks in Merle Haggard—style vocal gruffness, he more than makes up for with Haggard-style attitude. Coe will never be a legend like Waylon Jennings, and the thing is that he knows it, and that bitterness has made him mean. It's hick-style gangsta rap, high drama for the cheap seats. And if you say that kind of ferocious proselytizing about the special kind of pride that comes from poverty ain't country, son, you can kiss my ass. PAUL CONSTANT
