Review ? Hank3 & David Allan Coe ?The Outlaw Ways? ? Saving ...

The long-rumored, long-anticipated Hank Williams III and David Allan Coe collaboration was a long time in the making and even longer coming. But it?s here, and though some may have been wishing for a few songs or even an entire album, clocking in at over 7 minutes, ?The Outlaw Ways? will satiate your Hank3/David Allan Coe collaboration jones just fine.

It is easy to get over-hyped about a pairing such as this. History shows that these collaborations don?t always match the sum of their celebrity parts. Sometimes they fall flat, and sometimes they become part of country music lore, like the legendary pairing of Waylon Jennings and Hank Jr. in ?The Conversation.? ?The Outlaw Ways? is loosely based around this same lyrical structure, with the two country music Outlaws trading lines and coming together for the chorus. Both Hank Jr. and Waylon are also mentioned in the song. But instead of conversing about Hank Sr., Hank3 and David Allan Coe converse about each other and their friendship over the years, and about the authentic ?Outlaw? identity that flies in the face of the faux Outlaw movement on Music Row these days.

?The Outlaw Ways? is no world beater, but it is a fun song with some cool moments in the verses that will be a treasure for the artists? respective fans. With the most obvious focus being the pairing of the two men and the words, the music of ?The Outlaw Ways? could have become an afterthought, but instead it is one of the songs strengths, starting off with a country fiddle riff, falling to half time in the ol? Waylon style in the versus, and featuring a tasteful steel guitar solo in the middle.

When David Allan Coe was hospitalized after an accident in Florida, and with the recent passing of George Jones, it makes collaborations like this that much more prized and valuable. We let our country music heroes into our hearts and homes because we can connect with them so closely. It?s even more cool when they connect with each other.
