Album Review: "Rebel Meets Rebel" (2006)


Released earlier this month, this project came together as a collaboration between country singer David Allan Coe and the guys from heavy metal group Pantera from 1999-2003. Suffice it to say that it's a grinding yet tuneful fusion of two of the greatest music genres of all time, and the only way I can describe it is as a Metallica-cized version of the otherwise inimitable White Cowbell Oklahoma. And I gotta say, upon hearing the album's opening chords, one man immediately came to mind for some reason - this guy.

With titles like "One Night Stands" and "Cowboys Do More Dope", "Rebel Meets Rebel" is a can't miss effort that should be the soundtrack to roadtrips all summer long.

Totally randy.

Overall rating: 8.5/10
