Now with the of the news of country music outlaw legend, David Allan Coe, passing away Kid posted a note on his socials talking about their friendship.
He said…
“Spent so much time with David over the years, touring, writing songs and just hanging out. I knew a side of Dave most people never got to see. He was such a deep thinker, kind and about as real as an outlaw can get!
He did not give a damn what anyone thought of him. Always loved this cover of ‘Only God Knows Why’ he recorded on his tour bus. He also wrote ‘Single Father’ for me after spending a few days at my Ortonville, MI home years ago with me and my son. I still have piles of songs I need to dig up we wrote together.”
Then on Friday night in Dallas, Texas, Kid paid tribute to DAC on night one of his “Freedom 250 Tour” with a cover of “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”. It would’ve been David Allan Coe approved too.
