Coe's debut record, released on SSS International, draws heavily on blues rather than country, with lyrics rooted in prison life and the tension between confinement and freedom. It is a stripped-down set built around guitar, bass, drums, and harmonica.

David Allan Coe

He started out playing blues, busking in Nashville, and later became a central figure in the outlaw country movement of the 1970s. His songs range from hard-living blues to country storytelling, and he also wrote hits recorded by other artists, including Tanya Tucker.
