The x-rated (actually, according to the album cover, XXX rated) David Allen Coe album that Scott and Lionheart were discussing is titled "Nothing Sacred."  I got my copy many years ago directly from the DAC folks through an ad in the back of a biker rag, most likely "Easy Rider."  I'd guess it's long out of print. To date it, you need only refer to the song "F**k Anita Bryant," which appeared not long after her notorious comments against the gay community and the subsequent hoo-rah (boycott, etc.) against the Florida citrus growers, for whom Ms. Bryant promoted their products.  That also tells you something about David Allen Coe, who doesn't always speak for the redneck community, which wasn't exactly a collective gay rights advocate in those days.  The album is outrageously funny and witty, but you wouldn't want to pop it on the turntable at the church social.  Typical of the song titles is "There's [DNA material, to use the Monica era euphemism] Stains on the Pillow Where You Used To Lay Your Head."
