Coe was a great, unashamed country singer, singing the purest honky-tonk and hardest country of his era, making even Waylon and Willie seem a little conventional. There is an undeniable reactionary streak to his music yet, especially in retrospect, this makes it stronger, since he seems like one of the lone voices fighting for traditional country values. Did he win the fight? Well, in a way, he did, since he created pure, hardcore country, as this set of songs proves. This is Coe at his very best! Released in 1990, 20 tracks, including:01- You Never Even Called Me by My Name02- Please Come to Boston03- Jody Like a Melody04- Longhaired Redneck05- If That Ain't Country06- Willie, Waylon and Me07- Take This Job and Shove It08- Just Prove My Love For You09- Jack Daniel's If You Please10- Would You Lay With Me11- Divers Do It Deeper12- X's and O's (Kisses and Hugs)13- This Bottle14- Get a Little Dirt On15- Stand by Your Man16- Tennessee Whiskey17- Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat18- What Made You Change Your Mind19- The Ride20- Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile
