I read a news report that stated David Alan Coe had passed on. I'm sure some might not remember him, but for those that embraced the music scene of Austin, and the outlaw brand of music, remember his take on the Steve Goodman song "You Never Even Called Me By My Name".
Coe didn't fit the mold of Nashville at the time, but succeeded in a time when Disco didn't quite fit those that were raised in the country, and sought music that told the stories they were more familiar with. Truly an outlaw by any description, he never gave up on his music, and entertained in spite of how some might have viewed his life. He'll be missed for his added flavor to the long, varied menu called Country and Western.
