Shelby Singleton, one of Nashville's most successful Producers in the late '60's & '70's, was once asked in an interview why, from out of all the eager young talent available then, he chose to produce David Allan Coe.

His response ... "Because David Allan Coe is the kind of guy who is willing to do ANYTHING to become successful."

IMO, the guy has always lacked a moral compass, as evidenced by his body of work.

A friend of mine here in the humble burg in which I live (Amarillo), used to work at a music store. He's told me this story before of D A Coe coming to play here one night. He stopped off at said music store, and while I don't remember all of the details, he got all upset over something, fired his whole band, I believe, then had to have a guy at the store help him program all the keyboard parts back into his keyboards. Was a real prick, evidently.
