Underground Album is the 21st studio album by American country musician David Allan Coe. It was released as a mail order album, not sold in stores, only through the back pages of the motorcycling magazine Easyriders and in the concession stand at his shows.[1] Underground Album is Coe's follow-up to his 1978 album Nothing Sacred.
The album was generally criticized as being profane, racist, and crude.[2] AllMusic, which did not review the album, gave it three out of five stars. "Nigger Fucker" resulted in Coe being accused of racism.[3] [4] Neil Strauss described the album's material as "among the most racist, misogynist, homophobic and obscene songs recorded by a popular songwriter."[5] Coe responded to the accusations by stating "Anyone that hears this album and says I'm a racist is full of shit".[6] He also stated that he contacted Strauss during the writing of the article, but Strauss only acknowledged talking to Coe's manager, who would only comment off the record.[1]
