Sings Merle Haggard

Outlaw country provocateur David Allan Coe pays tribute to Merle Haggard’s working-class anthems and prison ballads on this King Records release, channeling the Bakersfield sound through his own ragged, defiant baritone. Coe’s interpretations honor Haggard’s country storytelling while asserting his own rebellious sensibility—a natural kinship between two artists who wore their outsider status as badge and burden.
