Description
David Alan Coe - RIDES AGAIN is a 1977 recording on the Columbia/Lone Star. label # KC 34310.
Even though Rides Again marks the first time David Allan Coe was allowed to use his own band on half of the album -- a major concession on the part of Columbia Records because he hit pay dirt a couple of times. On Rides Again, he tried to make a conscious outlaw record and aligning himself with the movement's two progenitors on the opening track, "Willie, Waylon, and Me" (and equating himself with not only the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Eagles, but the Beatles as well!). There are fine moments as well, such as "Under Rachel's Wings," "The House That We Call Home" (though it is the first of Coe's songs about polygamy), the plaintively moving "A Sense of Humor," the passionate and poetic "Greener Than the Grass We Laid On," and a killer cover of Dale Murphy's "Laid Back and Wasted." And while not without merit, the opening track -- with its reprise halfway through the album -- "Young Dallas Cowboy," and the infamous "If That Ain't Country (You Can kiss My Ass)." are in this exceptional album.
The jacket shows light wear on the front, back, & corners. The record is in EX condition.
