1977 David Allan Coe – Tattoo
Tattoo is an album by country musician David Allan Coe, released in 1977 on Columbia Records. After his previous outlaw movement-hitching concept album Rides Again (its opening track was titled “Willie, Waylon and Me” and was reprised halfway through the running order of crossfading songs), Coe returned to a straighter country approach on 1977’s Tattoo, the title a reference to Coe’s menacingly inked frame.
