He is very interesting. Very talented. This should be an example of how much our childhoods can fuck us up for life. This guy had a hard life and abandoned at 9. His examples were taught in institutions. I sense a lot of pain in his life. But, at the same time he has done amazing things with his life. You can't expect someone who was dumped as a kid and ended up being influenced his whole life by people in prison to think like most. He's complex and a survivor. He's talented. He's real.
From what I know, he’s also a decent person and doesn’t live like an a**hole. Sure his lyrics are racey but they’re mostly a joke and he’s actually a very tolerant person.
he was a healing part of my life because i went through a lot of the things he did but he could write beautiful music about his hurt....i could not ...i love the dude
When he says, " They can take that kid away from and that can hurt me." ....... that hit hard, been through that twice, yrs later and I still miss both them boys. One's all grown up and moved away from his mother. I did get one great sit down with him that helped us both. I never knew how much it had affected him as well.
@@gregoryedwards8004 Yes, this is a DAC clip, I get that. What I was getting at was your claim that he ran with some Dead members; I was wondering who you were talking about.

David , I have saw you every time I could, even in Strutthers at A bar called the Cellar God Bless You , You are 89 now doubt you will be back out thank's for the good times
He also wrote "greener than the grass we laid on" & "stand by your man" by her also. I'm a huge DAC fan as he is my favorite writer/singer but "would you lay with me" is a direct ripoff of Townes Van Zant's "if I needed you".
No, but heres the lyrics Little annie walks across at the meadow Wind blows cool through her summmer dress Pecans from trees are ripe foreating As anne holds one supply to her breast Yes her lover still so far away Promised hell bw coming home today Little annie stares across the pasture Looking for some signs on where hes been But the only thing still moving is the brances And hes feeling colder than the wind Yes her lover still so far away Promised hell be coming jome today Little annie watches at the sunset Knowing in her heart shell be alone Looking in her hand that held the pecan Little annie only found the stone
If these songs were released instead of his x rated stuff, you’d see his name up there in Nashville beside all the greats. I’ll play his records till I can’t any more though.
@@Spudderr I wish he never released that junk. He would be the greatest musician in American rock-folk-country. He's like a Bob Dylan for the downtrodden
People talk shit about DAC but nobody will ever come close to his greatest hits. If he didnt sing the obscene songs he would be the poster boy for country...but what makes him great is the fact that he doesnt give a rats ass what people think about him. He is one of the greatest song writers that ever lived and if you dont believe me go look at how many #1's he wrote
I don't think or know if this particular version was published but it carries the same melody as, "Little Suzie Shallow Throat" and I'm being dead serious.

@thebigtravesty Translation: Hello, I am Blake Bandy and I think DAC is the best. I am 17 years old and think that David Allan Coe is the finest vocalist. Probably the finest vocalist that time will produce. Thank you. I'm Blake Bandy.
@@Ragingbull246 NO, it's NOT. "Would you lay with me in a field of stone" Is the full and correct name of the song you're talking about. And that is Definitely not it. As a matter of fact he sings part of Would you lay with me in a field of stone at 8:02.
Anybody that thinks being interviewed by Al Goldstein will help Launch your Career is not running on all cylinders. And DAC later came to admit it in 1986 that he himself caused his on Career Limiting Events. Having been his Truck Driver from 1986-1988 I remember seeing a Down in the Dumps DAC. I remember me last day working for him in Dallas TX 1988. Coming out of a show, to find his Bus and Semi had been Repossessed. I guess not making payments for 7-8 months, who would think they would Repo. That and going upwards of 6-9 weeks without being paid will be a good reason to leave.
MrReb74 & copy to blitzshriek99 ~ The greatest myth of all time is that all rebels are racist. Quite the contrary. My maternal great-great grandfather, was born and reared in Virginia; was white; served as a Captain in the Confederate Army; and later lived openly with his former slave, and his children who bore his name!! He certainly was a long ways from being a racist. Do you, "Mister Rebel 74", believe that Thomas Jefferson was a racist? Finally, do you really believe that Strom Thurman was a racist?
@@DonnyTheSkitsDealer EXACTLY! Just because a person owns a car doesn't make them a car enthusiast or a car fanatic. No you need it to do it's job. Take you to work, or where you need to go, the store take the younins to school etc. Same as slaves. They were bought and sold to do a job. Same as a horse then. You bought a horse to plow your fields and pull a wagon. Did that make you an animal hater? NO Those were different times back then.
(in best Dr Cox voice) Oh...My...GAWD Pricilla while I know the biggest decision you've had to make up to this point has been which Duran Duran cover band was going to play at your sweet 16...I'm...going to need you to be serious here.

That's right
Hello Shy Joe: I really liked your comments on David Allan Coe. I find him to be a complex and interesting person, if not a genius, borderline.
This is truly the most honest interview and humble interview of DAC I have ever seen over the past 35 years. Thanks for posting.
My favorite county singer, he lived the life he sings about. I guess thats what makes him so real
he was a healing part of my life because i went through a lot of the things he did but he could write beautiful music about his hurt....i could not ...i love the dude
He speaks his mind and dont give shit! Like that!!!!
busky james true
Mr Coe. you are a beautiful creative man and artist=I saw you decades ago and just found this on You Tube=THANK YOU!
DAC is so good, he is one of the best country singers of all time. It makes me sad folks don't give him the respect he deserves.
He always had a chip on his shoulder, that's part of the reason. And he was a little too "outlaw".
When he says, " They can take that kid away from and that can hurt me." ....... that hit hard, been through that twice, yrs later and I still miss both them boys. One's all grown up and moved away from his mother. I did get one great sit down with him that helped us both. I never knew how much it had affected him as well.
That "Little Annie" is amazing, so simple and full of imagery; DAC is a brilliant writer.
He is honest and his music rocks!
he ran with a few dead members for a while

3:50-4:08 is as real as it gets in a situation like his and hers.
This interview always makes me cry
Thumbs up for this one.
David , I have saw you every time I could, even in Strutthers at A bar called the Cellar God Bless You , You are 89 now doubt you will be back out thank's for the good times
He's one fuck of an honest singing dude .
I do not regret watching this interview even though I have no earthly idea why I did.
I ❤❤ David Alan Coe
Alway. Love his. Music. Country music hall fame
he might not be the smartest or the greatest guy ever but he keeps it real and i respect that
Dac is forever. If I could I'd be the 8th wife lol. He's my kinda people...
Why can't you 🤔
0:50 there's no way in HELL this man just asked him that question
Love the honesty🎸
Would you lay with me...written by David Allen Coe.
Wow! Awesome! ...only ever heard it sung by Tanya.
Just looked it up and listened to him sing it
He also wrote "greener than the grass we laid on" & "stand by your man" by her also. I'm a huge DAC fan as he is my favorite writer/singer but "would you lay with me" is a direct ripoff of Townes Van Zant's "if I needed you".
He stole the melody from If I Needed You by Townes van Zant
@@sirpsychosecksi4953 True that, and made a killin' lol
I felt that when he talked about kids. I can relate.
1:30 oh my god I didn't think the questions could get any more ridiculous than the last one
kinda talks like jase from Duck Dynasty. talented mothafucka right here man. great voice to.
I grew up in a loveless Mormon home,myself. I know what that feels like...
this is the greatest video of all time
He speaks the truth
That ś just What I thought. All the best.
Despite his unconventional personality, Coe was a genuine person; and there is no musician alive or dead that has made me laugh as much as he has.
He will always be one of the greatest ever. Saw him in Georgia, early 2000s and could just tell he was a big deal, though the venue was not. DAC
was the song at 4:30 ever released? if so what was the name? nice jam
No, but heres the lyrics Little annie walks across at the meadow
Wind blows cool through her summmer dress
Pecans from trees are ripe foreating
As anne holds one supply to her breast
Yes her lover still so far away
Promised hell bw coming home today
Little annie stares across the pasture
Looking for some signs on where hes been
But the only thing still moving is the brances
And hes feeling colder than the wind
Yes her lover still so far away
Promised hell be coming jome today
Little annie watches at the sunset
Knowing in her heart shell be alone
Looking in her hand that held the pecan
Little annie only found the stone
Damn shame, beautiful song
If these songs were released instead of his x rated stuff, you’d see his name up there in Nashville beside all the greats. I’ll play his records till I can’t any more though.

Even though folks think what they will.., this Man was human and was perfectly able to put things in perspective¡! Maybe we should all be so...
was? is, he's still kicking! DAVID ALLAN FUCKING COE
Did he ever release the "Little Annie" song? It's great.
DAC is so honest and unyielding to the mainstream bs
*D.A.C.S STILL THE KING*
(bigger hillbilly star)
great stuff...true life
what a legend !!
DAC is the outlaw of outlaws and will fuckin' kill you!!! Love this guy!!!
3:19 I can find a thousand fuckin women but they can take that kid away from me and hurt me

Says he doesn't drink while sounding absolutely smashed 🤣
Wow 16 years old DAC, caught them young back then.
This interview could never be done in today's standards. I miss the oldays
Strange interview, ut he had always been great in my book
D.A. Coe A REAL American Hero!!!!!
He can really paint with his music
Legend
I love this shit
Man he is so real. " I can find 1,000 women but they can take that kid away from me and that will hurt me."
they should take all kids away from him, he's a terrible role model. Great talent, rotten man
He's the greatest lover alive!!!!
I wonder if Coe has ever sat back and sipped on a shot of cognac, and listened to himself talk.
what a dude.
I don't think or know if this particular version was published but it carries the same melody as, "Little Suzie Shallow Throat" and I'm being dead serious.
They do sound alike
Seeing that typed out made me laugh!
True artist
What song is that he sings at the 6-7 min mark? DAC what an out there dude!
what song is at 4:30?? that was gold
@Mopar21277 Search for his song SHALLOW THROAT SUZZIE... it's the same song with different lyrics
My Favorite Mormon.
cool
Thats a real purdy song starting at the 4:08 mark! Anybody know the name?
Did you ever find out what the name of the song is?
1:06 BASED
People who say what they think and do as they feel are always the most hated people. And also the most influential of their time.
tyler powers ~ Which Coe song would you suggest I listen to that would prove to me that he can sing?
You never called me by my name and a sad country song
Would you lay with me in a field of stone is great. If I could climb the walls of this bottle is another great.
Please Come to Boston
whats the name of the song at 4:20???fuckin amazing!!!!purre poetry.
Did you ever find out what the name of the song is?
Today's 420

He is a great song writer, regardless of how much of a bigot he is. Up there with Dylan in my opinion...
wilksbamf
Really? Dylan? I mean... he's a good story teller through song. But hey i saw another commenter who said he was like Afroman.
When he talks about children you can tell this is something he hasn't spoken about to himself much
Is that Lenny Bruce speaking in the intro?
1:32 lol
Good ass interview right there. The guy smoking a cigar eve though DAC is not. They don't make em like that anymore do they.
What a great start of conversation
Would you consider yourself a good fuck ...I can hear upchurch dying of laughter

I didn't realize he was a Mormon. A little different type of Mormon I guess.
Well he’s got a version of the polygamy down, that’s a good start for a Mormon.

Dont judge someone when you havent takin a walk through there shoes.. DAC has been to hell and back and he does what he wants and why do you care?
what year was this?
Goldstein is host of this show....SHOCKER!!!
👍
Hey he's one cool-el dude man! that's all I have to say about thàt.

what the goddamn is that song he's singin I keep searchin the lyrics but find nothing ???
Did you ever find out what the name of the song is? It is really powerful.
Cumstains on the Pillow
This Jewish guy is like howard stern kind of ha
Al Goldstein from screw magazine,he's kind of a lower rent Larry Flint. I had to look him up because I also wondered who he was
Johnny Cash never was any David Allan Coe for sure!
David Allen Coe puts Johnny Cash to shame. Johnny was very good, but David is great!
KNOW.

could be a great president
Probably better off as a singer

chfar072281 why don't u shut up about David Allen coe
the dip its just an opinion dude shouldnt let it bother you
you basically contradicted yourself
I think he’s just a very hurt man, and that’s the way he deals with it... because no bad hearted man can write songs like these
