The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy 1974 Album

David Allan Coe

From the album's Wikipedia page: "The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy sets the template for many of Coe’s albums throughout the seventies: an eclectic mix of original compositions and occasional cover songs steeped in Coe’s self-aggrandizing personae with lyrics that ranged from braggadocios to deeply sensitive." COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF...Incredibly, despite the beauty and raw emotion displayed here, DAC would one-up this many times over through the subsequent years.
