In only the time it took to grow their hair, Willie, Waylon and Paycheck met the '70s, shed their Nudie suits and Brylcreem, donned tattered denim and whiskered faces, and flooded the airwaves with songs of hard drinking, hard loving and hard time. He has developed a preference for Dimebag Darrell guitars, frequently emblazoned with the Confederate Flag, and performs with a headset so as to avoid having to stand for any extended length of time.Ĭoe first saw his star ascend as country music transitioned away from the countrypolitan era of Faron Young and Glen Campbell and toward the men who'd been writing their songs and singing their harmonies - Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck and the like. Nowadays, he's humongous, extraordinarily hairy and typically wears all black clothing with sleeves cut off to reveal aged arms covered in tattoos. In the '80s, Coe, at the height of his popularity, resembled a more-portly Toby Keith, sporting a dangly earring and wearing flashy pastel suits adorned with Native-American imagery. And while several have made the mainstream charts, Coe remains indelibly linked in many people's minds to these so-called "underground albums," which contain his more questionable material. Indeed, in a long and modestly varied career he's cut as many records as there are blonde-haired children in Alamo Heights. It speaks, perhaps, to Coe's plasticity as an artist that he scored a radio hit with such a florid title as "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile" only two years after he infamously put out a mail order album containing a song called "Nigger Fucker," among other sordid, profane, sexist and racist titles. Coe is simultaneously an easy and willing touchstone of country-folk parody (and, one would have to assume, judging by his willingness to be lampooned on Adult Swim, something of a good sport) as well as a lightning rod for criticism aimed at the homogeneity, and, in Coe's particular case, the sometimes racism of country music. He's maintained something of a legitimate, if cult-driven, career as a country stalwart on the backs of hits like "You Never Even Called Me By My Name," which might be the perfect country song, and as the author of others hits, such as "Take This Job and Shove It," and an endless list of other KKYX staples. I have attempted to contextualize Coe's career within the framework of Early's more apropos headgear.Įarly's hat: "I'm a Long Haired Spreadneck"Ĭoe counts himself a progenitor of the outlaw trend of country music, which came to prominence in the early to mid '70s. Look for the one in the hat - it probably says something like, Guns Don't Kill People, I Do!!!" Dan Halen, the show's primary antagonist, describes Early for Coe during DAC's guest spot: "He's the one with his mouth open in an expression of constant confusion and ignorance. Parody or not, Early, in Adult Swim's estimation, is presented as the prototype Coe fan. Send us feedback."We're gonna boil the roof off this damn peanut dong," says David Allan Coe, appearing as himself in the Squidbillies Season 3 episode "The Okaleechee Dam Jam." Early Cuyler, the show's hilariously backward hillbilly protagonist, wears a trucker hat, identifying him as a "Booty Hunter," crosshairs sighted in on the silhouetted rump of a shapely female.
