The thing that prompted this thread was a construction company truck on I40 with four black guys in it, and the name of the company was "David Allen Co.". I was wondering if they were fans.[Edited on May 30, 2008 at 1:14 PM. Reason : d]

"You Never Even Called Me By My Name" is a good song.
5/30/2008 1:15:17 PM
^^ I saw a "David Allen Co." trailer in Walnut Creek about a month ago...
5/30/2008 1:30:33 PM
It is David Allan Coe.....

I saw one of those truck on campus a few years ago, but no one believed me when I told them.

David Allen Co. is one of the larger tile contractors / stone fabrication & installation companies in the area....David Allen Coe is one of the larger rednecks in the United States

So I come from a reaaaaaaaal backwoods country town, and that song was played at every party/wedding I ever went to. Naturally I know the lyrics.Well one night at Jax I was with my friends, and I got up and sang it with like 12 guys. I had no clue why the crowd was looking at me funny until I found out that David Allan Coe had a lot of songs about not liking black people Leroy the Big Lipped Nigger is one of my all time favorites, and some song about Jiggaboo.

Back in the day after hearing 'You Don't Have to Call Me Darling' I went to download some of his other music. I couldn't believe somebody was still making songs like this guy Honestly surprised he hasn't been shot up; I can only imagine the type of crowd he gets at one of his showsThis guyBut WTF is going on here?This kid has a real bright future ahead of himnot trying to pic bomb, just wanted to share some of these gemshttp://www.officialdavidallancoe.com

It sounds like a lot of you are confusing DAC with Johnny Rebel. This a common mistake among the uninitiated. Johnny Rebel wrote such racist classics as "Leroy the Big Lipped Nigger", "Jiggerboo", Nigger, Nigger," "In Coon Town," "Who Likes a Nigger?," "Nigger Hatin' Me," "Still Looking For a Handout," "Some Niggers Never Die (They Just Smell That Way)," "Stay Away From Dixie,", and "Move Them Niggers North".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Rebel_(singer)Johnny Rebel was the pseudonym for Clifford Trahan.Please realize that this is NOT Dave Coe. They are two different people. Dave Coe never wrote those songs and he is not a racist. http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/article.asp?xid=360[Edited on May 30, 2008 at 2:37 PM.

Oooh thanks for clearing it up
5/30/2008 2:37:03 PM
He DID, however, do the song "nigger fucker." Clearly, he is an unrecognized hero of the civil rights movement.
5/30/2008 2:39:24 PM
^ Yes he did. On the Undergound Album (i think). But he made it clear that song was suppose to be satire. But, if you take everything you hear at face value i'll save you some time on a few other things. Sara Silverman is racist (she mocks black people). So is Don Rickles (ditto). And so is...actually I think I'll let you find out on your own. It will probably be more fun that way.
5/30/2008 2:47:58 PM
In my original post I wasn't even talking about the racist stuff, though. I just think the guy is a parody of a parody of a redneck, prison tattooed, ugly, cheesy-song writing jackass.
5/30/2008 2:51:09 PM
I love David Allan Coe... ya know he is actually a good songwriter and has openly denounced his racist songs and doesn't claim them anymore.
5/30/2008 3:10:16 PM
yeah thats what i figured...i just wanted to act like i was taking up the "cause" and needed a reason to post that song
5/30/2008 3:11:32 PM
plus he has a black drummer...or he did when I saw him in '01
5/30/2008 3:11:48 PM

5/30/2008 3:11:53 PM
DNL, Just to state again...the person singing in your video (Nigger Hating Me) is JOHNNY REBEL NOT DAVE COE. They are two different people. They don't even sound the same. For some reason a lot of people have them confused and I can I imagine it's because they don't know jack about country music.[Edited on May 30, 2008 at 3:47 PM. Reason : ``]
5/30/2008 3:47:02 PM
i have such a hard time explaining this to some folks sometimes. they've been confused for so long that it's like telling them hank williams jr. didn't write "all my rowdy friends"
5/30/2008 3:57:25 PM
^^oh...i downloaded it once and it said david allen coe and then i googled it and it came up with some hits so i figured it was him

David Allan Coe also wrote a lot of very popular mainstream country songs.

he was talking about all those Johnny Rebel songs.also, when I said his shows draw a "rough crowd", i didn't mean a lot of hillbilly types. it's mostly young people, and it's mostly a rock/metal show.
5/31/2008 12:51:59 PM
well he did say he isn't a racist, but he wrote some songs that are pretty racially charged I'm not saying he wrote those other songs, but listen to his "X-Rated Hits" album.I'll probably go to see him, I like him. I'm just saying, call a spade a spade (no pun intended)
5/31/2008 12:53:32 PM
oh yeah, he's definitely written some racially charged stuff. no doubt about that!i don't know if he's a racist or not. i don't think writing those songs makes him a racist, and i don't think that having a black guy or two in his band proves him not to be a racist.
5/31/2008 12:57:02 PM
leg,And if you scroll down a little you will see that I said that song was not meant to be serious. And if you click on the interview w/DAC I linked to you will see that DAC defends his reputation.PS* Like I said before, plenty of people say "racially charged" stuff without being racist. I recommend you never watch Comedy Central. [Edited on May 31, 2008 at 4:21 PM. Reason : ``]

DAC wrote "Take This Job and Shove It."You can't help but love that.
5/31/2008 5:21:05 PM
^^ the only thing I can think of outside of those couple of "underground" albums is "If That Ain't Country".Tryin' like the devil to find the Lord/Workin' like a nigger for my room and boardCoal burnin' stove, no natural gas/and if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass.but again, i don't think that lyric or any of the X-rated lyrics makes him a racist, and I don't think that having black friends and band members proves him not to be a racist.
