Rides Again 1977 Album

David Allan Coe

One of five - yes, five - releases from DAC in 1977, this obvious follow-up to 1976's Longhaired Redneck has more of a conceptual bent, with the tracks fading one into the next and Coe really getting a ton of emotional weight of his chest. It's a brash yet unflinching portrayal of his outlaw lifestyle, and I would say the warts and scars are much more prominent than the successes, with the incredulous single "Willie, Waylon, and Me" being a serious exception.
