David Allan Coe - River

[roysteinar]

the mysterious rhinestone cowboy!

[oldetymegunslinger]

Hey Dave, Taken to the heart my Bro. Your still kickin' ass. Question-Is the river the river of life as it flows? Also the muddy waters how sometimes we get sidetract cause we can't "see" the whole picture? Keep Kickin'

[pitpen77]

david allen coe know one better in my eyes real outlaw

[avaruusseikkailu2001]

I might be the only one from Finland who likes David, but this is the one thats makes me drink as finish asshole..

[GLWillaims]

watch,country my ass!

[jimmyacorn]

He's a punk. He's always been a self-centered racist punk ass redneck. But dang he's still good.

[mr79wilson]

this song makes me think of all my family and friends who have been to prison. great song

[13Jackknife]

river, 3 fucking fags disliked.

[TheGrandCapt]

That is one wild getup he has on.................How can person not like him.

[curbshoppin]

as they say he is batshit crazy but the best dam music everl....when im at my lowest it is always DAC i listen too.......i love the dude

[TheGrandCapt]

It doesn t look like there were many coloreds in prison back then, did they send them all to the electric chair ? Lol just kidding. David Allen Coe is as American as apple pie.

[lumpster70]

Ugh! Such a douchebag.

[dirttrackc4]

lol i think this was a lil bit before my boy dave got strung out

[ncfirefighter910]

This song is great...nuff said!

[W3LSH100]

Vintage DAC. Johnny Cash meets Liberace. lol

[dele81]

Fantastic song... 

[SeagullsDiarrhea]

now those are some boots!

[Ih8libs78]

Who gives a fuck about the nigger bullshit.He made Linda lovelace gag.

[TheRazVideos]

Kick ass vintage DAC, love It!

[allnightermark]

I love Heartworn Highways

[MrOutlawCountry]

He has the right to say whatever he wants. Im sure there are blacks that call white people derogatory names in their raps. So just get over it. One of his best friends was hank ballard. Not to mention he says his favorite music growing up was African american blues musicians. This man is not a racist in the least little bit. Do some DAC research before making uneducated statements.

[brooks5510]

@MrOutlawCountry that absolutely correct and the song was making fun of his BLACK drummer at the time for having a white wife...it was all a joke...i wanna say it was actually hank ballards son but im not sure on that part

[Henrymj79]

This song is pure art....not like the Jungle Music in New Jersey

[hussellreilman]

fuckin mysterious rhinestone cowboy...

[coesucks]

I love Coe! He is a legend! This is a great song!

[coesucks]

I love this man!!!

[stuwad1]

this song makes me think about growing up in the mountains of wv

[plesmond]

great lyrics. Sad song.

[stuntmanbryan]

Man oh man I can't belive this is the same David Allan Coe I saw a few years ago---lots of "transition" . For better or worse, hope he's doin good------God bless you David Allan Coe. You were are and always will be the Real Shit! Now let's go hang a nigger!!!!!

[arentanynamesleft]

This is a badass song. DAC fkin owns.

[senickle]

fucking epic

[bombalu5]

Looks like a white trash disco ball

[TRBNGR666]

quit the politically correct slur niggers want you to use

[MelvinWren]

i bet they all thought he was pretty.

[bushuraloser]

yes they did .

[strangemenssana]

@MelvinWren Especially with those boots.Great song.I love DAC.People of all ages to whom i've introduced DAC's music,think he's great too.

[EricDMidget]

great boots

[TadKAWAII]

Hey you don't have to like my comment, but he sounds way better with his Gibson and a wooden chair than with this nonsense. The tone is really bad on that bad guitar. Otherwise, the song is amazing, I play it.

[TadKAWAII]

Oh man David, set that piece of shit Ovation on fire, blow that tone up, and put a mic in front of an acoustic, because that's when you're kicking some serious ass. That tone with a runny nose thing isn't working for you.

Amazing song, though, of course.

[stuwad1]

anything coe does is better than anyone else , he himself said that the x rated albums hurt him . he is so under rated that he will never get his credit for his serious music . To think that Garth is made of MILLIONS and Coe is living on a tour bus is a smack in the face . Thank you Dave for the real singer songwriter that i admire , and anyone else go buy your new wanna be country music and blandly stay out of the way of taste

[chizhik69]

his x rated album is his greatest stuff. Long live the south

[pitpen77]

@stuwad1 hell ya

[lincolncadillac]

@stuwad1 Absolute right, Great artist,  some pornCountry , so what!?..

[millinella]

very good!!!!!!!!

[MelvinWren]

DAMN

[MCrue2]

What year is it?

[tommycontact]

The river he sings about is the Trinity River.....TDC The whole fuckin prison system there is centered around farming that river bottom.......He definately is singing of that river.

Ellis Unit comes to mind....Hmm... Tucker - Listen- at night/morn on the Trinity River you can hear the prison horns near Trinity Texas.

[myself7]

1975

[tommycontact]

FTW

[varmitrifle]

do you have the whole show ?

[stuwad1]

i only have it on a dvd heart worn highways its great Towns and a bunch of other outlaws that only know the true meaning of country

[stuwad1]

very under rated , he is the man . only a real heart can see him

[gotchanowdog]

with that outfit anita bryant shouldnt have any trouble seeing what the "homos" mean to him

[stuwad1]

your very uninformed im sorry

[gotchanowdog]

about what??????

[ricmcusa]

Heart and soul. He sings this song from the heart. Not on the album though.Oh yeah you are an idiot. You feel special cause you have a dog? YOU SUCK. You better get your facts straight.

[gotchanowdog]

youre the idiot.

1. I dont have a dog, so eat me

2. listen to his song titled F*** Anita bryant and youll know what Im talking about

3. I was only poking fin of his outfit which if was worn today would bring question about ones sexuality

4. get your facts straight, because i didnt claim factual statements in my comment

5. when I'm replying to I feel special because you are stupid.

[bjames112]

dac put's his heart in this song

[bjames112]

he understands!

[graydog009]

for those of you that do know go take a flying fuck.

[PanteraFan345]

I lol'd SO FUCKIN' HARD!!!!!!! I't DAC but he's clothes GAY AS FUCK!

[whiterockcream]

They are fucking awesome!

Singing about death row in front of convicts, dressed like that.

Takes integrity.

[whiskeySticks]

there's something about this guy thats just a little off. the whole rhinestone/cowboy/truck driver schtick really chaps my ass

[seeitasitis]

Haha, a little off?

[whiskeySticks]

as much as im not a fan of the guy you gotta love that rhinestone suit. cocaine is a hell of a drug

[ridrid96]

AWESOME!!!

[bmf95b]

31,560

[rraintnoisepolution]

what year is this. anyone?

[seeitasitis]

1975-76

It is from the film Heartworn Highways.

[pitpen77]

@rraintnoisepolution 1977

[strangemenssana]

DAC is a legend;behind the flamboyance,egotism and image is an immensely talented man..I particularly like "Family Reunion"-a beautiful song.Coe doesn't get the exposure he deserves,maybe due to his uncompromising persona.Here in England he is practically unknown.The dismal homogenized commercial stations don't play his stuff with the noble exception of Dave Nelson on Radio 210(20 years ago when it was a half decent station).Nelson always extolled Coe's virtues.

[Chisumisfregginsexy]

The flanger on the guitar is annoying

[snare222]

GREAT SONG!

[manmanethh]

Best song ever

[SawHappy]

Notttt!!!

[69kansas69]

#1 DAC fan here

[lustfordeath]

Damn, DAC is young here.

[nicholasbhicks]

i live just 3 or 4 miles away from ohio state reformitory were david allan coe was locked up before he was famous

[WoundedKnee73]

What Country is......and what it was!

[Chocktastik]

sexy boots....especially in a prison

[bmf95b]

sounds good

[nedmanxxx]

0ne of a handful of our real american troubadours...a real deep -seated poet....

[JawsJaws]

David Allan Coe...the real deal

[georgiajake91]

hell nobody likes niggers! they are good for nothin!!

[babendrix]

david allan coe i love him ... Redneck !!

Who likes a niggers ??

said david

[billyraybrock]

and what lyrics is this song in?

[Widdel]

That is Johnny Rebel not David Allan Coe

[davidsmith1483]

Stop confusing Johnny Rebel for David Allan Coe, They sound nothing alike. DAC sang one racist song "My wife ran off with a nigger" thats it. Get it straight

[seeitasitis]

The song is actually called 'Nigger Fucker'. He also says "working like a nigger for my room & board" in 'If That Ain't Country'. I'm not saying Coe is a racist, I'm just correcting you. Don't get so angry over what some dumb, French-Canadian kid says. He's obviously an idiot, just look at his YouTube page. For the record, DAC stated in the Midnight Blue interview he does not hate based on gender, race or sexual preference. He just does not like most people.

[stonedeafforever88]

@seeitasitis he also says "its hard to work for a doillar a week and the ku klux klan is bigger, so take them sheets off of your bed and lets go hang a nigger" in rails

[RiverRenegade]

I just wonder how many years ago that was?

[seeitasitis]

Filmed in 1974, I believe.

[ssjm666]

from akron ohio

[crocrock1]

OMG what a scarecrow and straw in his head and fancying himself another Johnny Cash...

[555442345]

whoever doesnt like DAC they can go to fucking hell for all i care. God Bless DAC your the man.

[555442345]

god damm i want those fuckin boots so bad. they are really cool.

[CowboySrki]

YEAH! I want those boots too!!

[poontwangdrifter]

fuck'n baddass!!!!

[jennyliberty]

I love this guy, he's great, 'heartwarn highway' is one of my all time favorite films and Davids in it.

[huntsirk]

[RattlerMan33]

This is good classic stuff man!

[DACNO1FAN]

Great video!!!..This is the kind of song I love to hear DAC sing..Thanks!!

[6stringgunslinger]

The first rinestone cowboy. Glen Cambell stole the idea from him.

[tankerman25]

I got one thing to say fuck the Niggers.

[outlawcountryman]

[stew1tx]

[ssjm666]

from akron ohio

[mywifedawn]

HAIL DAC you are the greatest ever

[austinf12345]

If I didnt know this was david Allan Coe...I would never have guessed this was him. The sequins, earings, no facial hair. He looks kinda gay, but I guess it was the seventies. But I do love the song tho.

[abbeydog1234]

This clip is from the movie Heartworn Highways that came out in 1974.

[brooks5510]

and yet still not in the country music hall of fame

[foreverlaughing21]

he's so great I know! but I think it's because he sings some pretty racist songs and some pretty vulgar ones too. All his other songs are great though.

[brooks5510]

the racist "songs" you speak of is really only one and i assume you mean n*gger fu*cker and it was written as a joke...hell the drummer in that song was a black guy! lol i surely hope that doesnt keep him out of the cmhof but it appears it may be so...(not disrespecting your reply in no way just had to put that out there)

[sullivan92604]

dont forget "if that aint country"...."workin like a nigger..." still the best!

[seeitasitis]

Waaaahhhhh!

[6277steven]

david allan coe is the best!!!

[mrzombie1972]

THANKS FOR POSTING!!

[CowboySrki]

oh man! this is great video!!! thanks for postin' this!! awesome! DAC rocks!!!

[1982awh]

Good video Old DAC like to know what year it is

[getsum4u]

[Nightrain76]

This is a tremendous video right here. Coe is in his prime here, no doubt,

[coesucks]

@Nightrain76 I love this man!

[Nightrain76]

Awesome old school DAC footage!
