In a twist as shocking as his forbidden songs , never-before-seen footage has come to lightâand it changes everything. đ„
The images, hidden for more than three decades, reveal the wild, chaotic, and dangerous side of country legend David Allan Coe , the man who lived the way he sang: without rules, without fear⊠and without redemption.
Born in 1939 in Akron, Ohio, Coe grew up between bars and riots , forging his character in reformatories and prisons where he wrote his first lyrics about revenge, love, and destruction. But what the new material reveals goes much deeper: secret rituals, hidden messages in his songs, and a dark pact thatâaccording to witnessesâhe allegedly made to achieve fame.
đ âIf the devil has a soundtrack, I wrote it,â he is heard saying on one of the unreleased tapes, with a smile as haunting as his verses.
The documentary features trance-like footage of Coe , late-night recordings, and confessions about his war against Nashville, the government, and even himself.
His rebellious anthems, which once defied censorship, are now being reexamined in a new light: that of an artist who may have crossed the line between genius and madness.
Among his many scandals, the film also reveals lost documents from his dispute with the IRS , which claim he sold the rights to his songs for a fraction of their value in a desperate attempt to settle a debt that, according to him, ânever really existed.â
The darkest rumors resurface: broken friendships, threatening phone calls, and a recording in which a voice (presumably his) whispers: âThey wonât silence me⊠even if they bury me with my guitar.â
Today, as the country music world trembles in the face of these revelations, the figure of David Allan Coe rises as a cursed legend , a prophet of excess and rebellion whose life was a mixture of glory, scandal, and self-destruction.
