The most controversial performer in country music history, Coe�s legend is based as much on his bad-ass behavior as it is on his astounding talent. At a time when Outlaw Country implied �creative freedom,� Coe was crashing the party with a loaded gun and a half-empty bottle of Jack. In the decades that followed the release of Penitentiary Blues, Coe became a country legend, landing hits like �You Never Even Called Me By My Name� and �The Ride� and writing songs for Tanya Tucker (#1 with �Would You Lay with Me in a Field of Stone�), Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. But no song brought him more acclaim than �Take This Job and Shove It,� the #1 blue-collar anthem he wrote for Johnny Paycheck in 1977.
Coe is currently in the midst of a career revival and has recently recorded with Pantera (Dimebag Darrell gave Coe the guitar he now plays on stage every night) and was sought out by Kid Rock to contribute songs for his latest album.
