Jay remembers the transgressive outlaw country star, David Allan Coe, who passed this week at the age of 86. He spent much of his early life in prison and reform schools and was discovered at the age of 29 busking in Nashville. He went on to become a famous ‘outsider’ of the country music world and wrote some great songs in the process.

Songs: 

David Allan Coe - “Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)”

David Allan Coe - “You Never Even Called Me by My Name”

Rebel Meets Rebel - “Cowboys Do More Dope”
