David Allan Coe - Live at Billy Bob's Texas

Starring:David Allan Coe
Studio: Smith Music Group
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
David Allan Coe's annual performances at Billy Bob's Texas draw fans of all ages, and this enjoyable concert finds the singer-songwriter acknowledging his diverse audience with frequent references to old pals (Waylon Jennings) and new (Kid Rock). Coe's set even includes Jennings's concert staple, "Storms Never Last," and a pair of simple boogie shuffles that Coe (with apparent pride) co-wrote with Rock. Memory, and overbearing self-lionizing, are key to Coe's show. That strategy has a downside: There's a suite of six or seven songs (including "Nothin' to Lose" and "When I Was a Young Man") that amounts to a bluesman's bragging rights. Much better are the shattering "Heaven Only Knows" and "Lay My Money Down," which breaks Coe's lean, country-rock monotony with welcome bluegrass textures. Coe's "Take This Job and Shove It," a massive hit for Johnny Paycheck, becomes more than a novelty song in its composer's hands. --Tom Keogh
Description
Considered one of the greatest songwriters of all time, David Allan Coe has been entertaining audiences for more than 30 years with his songs and his live performances. "Long Haired Redneck" shines on his first-ever DVD release recorded at the world-famous Billy Bob's Texas in Ft. Worth. Coe showcases many of his monster hits like "Take This Job and Shove It" and "You Don't Even Call Me by My Name" along with the country music anthem "If That Ain't Country." From biker bars to college campuses to the world's largest honky tonk, David Allan Coe entertains with his no-holds-barred style and huge collection of classic songs. Backed by some of the best musicians around, including his son Tyler, David Allan Coe sounds better than ever and always leaves a little room for a sing-along or two. Songs: Heaven Only Knows, Ain't That the Way, Wreckless, Nothin' to Lose, Take This Job and Shove It, Never Even Call Me by My Name, If That Ain't Country, Lay My Money Down, Longhaired Redneck 2001, Free My Mind, Follow Me, Storms Never Last, Drank My Wife Away, Talkin' to the Blues, Son of the South, 59 Cadillac 57 Chevrolet, Time Off for Bad Behavior, When I Was a Young Man, The Ride, Will You Remember Me.

Totally Incredible.......2007-03-18

A must own DVD for any David Allan Coe fans,Watching this 63 yr. old Under rated country Icon, sent chills up my spine, In this incredible peformance, and even brought a tear to my eyes on how under rated and under apreciated he is.This is not one of those DVD's that you watch one time and put away to collect dust, this is something that you'll watch over and over again.Well Im going to close for now, so I can go see what other David Allan Coe DVD's I can buy next....Definitly hooked on COE

Need More Stars.......2005-10-13

Totally AWESOME from beginning to end. Be sure to add this one to your collection you will not be disappointed. We have watched it several times and it is always entertaining.

Great.......2005-09-23

If you are a DAC fan you gotta have this. Just wished that when they mixed it the lead guitar had more volume.

The best music DVD I own........2004-07-27

I have about 40 music DVDs, including rock, country, bluegrass and blues. This one is the best. I have watched this DVD (according to DAC it means Drunk Very Drunk) about 20 times in the last five months. The music is great and the crowd is so into it. They know the words to the songs and just when to hoot, holler, gesticulate, etc. I envy those who were at that show. David Allan Coe is in top form here. I love all the name dropping. DAC is obviously a very smart guy who knows exactly what he is doing as a showman, and of course as a songwriter. (I bet there are incidences where people have underestimated his shrewdness to their own detriment.) The most important comment I could make to a potential buyer is that it's a real cultural thing. People of a narrow city-folk mind probably won't get it. Too bad for them. The last two tracks alone are worth the five star rating...and that's just for the shock value they provide. A note worthy of mention is about the production quality of this DVD. The camera work is very good, the editing is superb, and the sound (especially the DTS soundtrack) is outstanding. Hat's off the David Allan Coe and to Billy Bob's Texas.

if this aint country...........2004-01-17

This is a great DVD and if you love real Country you should get this now! DAC is a performer like no other and the interview segment is riveting!

Description

Born Sept. 6, 1939, in Akron, Ohio, David Allan Coe was in and out of reform schools, correction centers and prisons since the age of 9. One of the most fascinating -- and, some would say, dangerous -- figures in the entire history of country music, Coe's unrestrained ego is evident throughout his work. After all, he was not shy in listing himself alongside two undisputed icons when he wrote and recorded the 1976 single, "Willie, Waylon and Me." Coe was paroled in 1967 and took his songs about prison life to record executive Shelby Singleton, who released two albums on his SSS label. Coe wrote Tanya Tucker's 1974 No. 1 single, "Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)?" and took to calling himself "Davey Coe, the Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy" -- performing in a mask and driving a hearse. He satirized the themes of country music with hilarious additions to Steve Goodman's "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" but has often used the clichs himself. His defiant stance and love of motorcycles, multiple tattoos and ultra-long hair made him a natural Nashville outlaw, which he wrote about in the self-glorifying "Longhaired Redneck" and "Willie, Waylon and Me."In 1978, Johnny Paycheck had a No. 1 country hit with Coe's "Take This Job and Shove It," which inspired a film of the same title in 1981. Coe's own successes included the witty "Divers Do it Deeper" (1978), "Jack Daniels if You Please" (1979), "Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat" (1982) and "The Ride" (1983's song which conjures up a meeting between Coe and Hank Williams). In 1984, Coe reached No. 2 on the country charts with "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile" to mark his highest chart position as a performer. Recordings with other performers include "Don't Cry Darlin'" and "This Bottle (In My Hand)" with George Jones, "I've Already Cheated on You" with Willie Nelson and "Get A Little Dirt on Your Hands" with Bill Anderson. Coe's 1978 album Human Emotions was about his divorce -- one side being "Happy Side" and the other "Su-i-side." The controversial cover of Texas Moon shows the bare backsides of his band and crew, and he has also released two mail-order albums of explicit songs, Nothing Sacred and Underground. In 2003, he released CD and DVD releases of Live at Billy Bob's Texas. Coe has frequently mentioned his sessions with Kid Rock and the hard rock band Pantera for a new album expected to be released in 2004.

This DVD is "Act One"?.......2005-07-13

You knew something was wrong when this disc was being sold for a lower price than the "other" DAC "Live at Billy Bob's". This disc only has 6 songs, and nothing else. Amazon could've stated this in their advertising of this release. As usual, when there's no write-up, it's best to avoid it. You're better off forking out the extra 10 bucks for the good disc. Just thought you'd like to know. By the way, the six tunes are: "Talkin' to the Blues", "Wreckless", "Nothin' to Lose (part2)", "When I was a Young Man", "Will You Remember Me", and "The Ride". Total running time: 21:33.
