3 out of 5 stars Typical DAC.......2007-01-24

If you are a fan of DAC then this collection is a must have. Some of his great older songs, the ones that made me a fan.

5 out of 5 stars This is 1 of the Best Album ever.......2006-08-21

i remember being stuck in the car with my step-father and mother listing to country music. when i heard David Allen-Coe for the first time i felt omg this guy can sing and enjoyed it. i been looking for more albums of his and this one album is jam pack with some of the hardest song of his to find. if you like good country music are just plan damn good music i say buy this album you wont regert it. David Allen-Coe made me like country music i think he can turn anyone on to it.

5 out of 5 stars Classic albums from a troubled man.......2005-04-13

When these albums were recorded in 1976 and 1977, David was going through difficult times in his personal life. As so often happens with singer-songwriters in such situations, these problems affected the content of his music but not its quality. In many ways, these are the kind of albums you would expect David to record.

In Longhaired redneck, the title track to the first album in this twofer, David complains about all the DJ's who won't play his music because he's an outlaw and doesn't fit their idea of what country music is about. In two other songs (Revenge, Living on the run), David sings about murder. Much more cheerful is Family reunion, a song with a touch of bluegrass (rare for David) in which David reminisces about playing music with the family. But that song provides a rare dose of cheer among the many sad, dark or bitter songs to be found on these two albums.

Perhaps the strangest song is Dakota the dancing bear. I don't know what the inspiration for this song about hippies, rednecks, heroin and a dancing bear was, but it will outrage some people while others will find it very funny. Some aspects of the song are funny, but having heard (some years ago) about the plight of real dancing bears, I think David could have written a funnier song without the bear.

Perhaps the best-known song here is Willie Waylon and me, in which David put himself in some illustrious company including the Beatles, Stones, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, the Byrds and the Eagles as well as Waylon and Willie.

There are many other great songs here including Greener than the grass we laid on (a song that Tammy Wynette has covered), A sense of humor (attacking reporters who treat him unfairly) and The house we've been calling home (about a man with three wives).

The more you listen to this album - or study the lyrics in the accompanying booklet - the stranger it gets. While it is often dark and moody, this album has much to offer to those who are looking for songs with a difference. There are plenty here.

5 out of 5 stars cult in scandinavia.......2004-01-19

In the early 80's when Mr Coe was not that well treated in the States. He developed a cult in Sweden and its viking neighbour countrys. I hold most us his early stuff as holy as any other epic rock and country stuff as Stones "Sticky fingers" or Cash "follsom prison". Longhaired redneck tells the fatal drama of fame, drugs and revenge. Songs like "spotlight" and "on the run" should be as mutch classics as "willin " by little feat or "poncho and lefty" by Townes van Zandt. Buy this one if you realy care about music and experince the magic of music, THANKS David i wish the rides never stop.

5 out of 5 stars FINALLY.......2003-11-04

David Allen Coe Rides Again is an amazing record. I remember my dad playing it over and over again when I was younger, and I managed to save the original record from his collection. Unfortunately it has a skip right in the middle of Under Rachael's Wings. Now I can buy it on CD and listen to it forever- skip free !! For anyone who has never heard this record, you need to immediately get it. I enjoy all kinds of music and this record is right up there with Big Star, Velvet Underground, Merle Haggard, Beatles, Hank SR. - anything. If you like great poetry, this is for you .
