David Allan Coe was certainly a controversial figure, but I’ll also readily acknowledge the huge role he played in my exposure to country music when I was a kid back in the 1970s. My introduction to his music came via his Longhaired Redneck album on 8-track. To be clear, this remembrance is by no means an endorsement of the behavior that earned him that reputation. Rest in peace, Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy.

Bringing out the sawmill, cutting the 12 inch beams
Building a pattern, the reservoir to fill with dreams
Rings like Saturn telling their old story…
