The rewards of dumpster diving!!!

I was at one of the water wells that I service for my citizen gig when I saw a box dropped off by the dumpster by our fence well when I went to toss some bags in I looked down and saw some albums and look what Roadside found..some true classics, they are in pretty good shape but they had gotten some overnight condensation on them so they aren't in perfect shape but I will still treasure them!!!
The fucking best one of the bunch..David Allan Coe..Rides Again!!! I have wanted one of these albums ever since I was a kid! I got to see him at a show last week and his last song was..yep you guessed it, Panheads Forever..and he sang it in it's entirety, certainly one memory that will last a lifetime!! Don't be too jealous muthafuckas..Roadside

Thanks for the comments everyone..Joe, I spoke with someone who knows,if you know what I mean, and he's back wearing a patch, he was a member back in the seventies for awhile then got out for whatever reason and Rhonda, you must have read my mind LOL!!! And Judge I knew you would get a kick out of finding them!!!

  5. He recorded that album in one take, legend goes that he took the band into the studio after a night of drinking, set up and played, I used to listen to that album trying to find the breaks between songs...

    Willie, Waylon and me! what a great album!!!!

  6. Coe's 'Rides Again' is a GREAT album! actually i own all 5 of those records in your picture, they are all good. I also saw Coe live a month or so ago at Biktoberfest in daytona-he played 'panheads' and youre right it was classic. he told several stories about still being active in the outlaws.
