Human Emotions is an album released by country musician David Allan Coe. It was released in 1978 on Columbia.

Recording [edit]

The original vinyl release of Human Emotions is divided into two parts, Happy Side and Su-I-Side (with side i filled with songs equanimous by Coe – and some recorded – before some other wife left him) and side two focusing on the aftermath, with the tunes continued by the sound of beach waves. The album features Billy Sherrill'south debut as Coe's producer, with Thom Jurek noting in his AllMusic review of the anthology:

At this time, producer Billy Sherrill had really begun to make his presence felt on David Allan Coe's records. Ron Bledsoe is however here with his patented honky tonk product mode, but the Sherrill ambience creeps in here and gives everything a certain commercial-sounding fullness rather than the infinite of his earlier records…The album opens with a re-recording of "Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Rock)," a track Sherrill convinced Coe to redo. This version is not as strong, perhaps considering information technology comes from a place of brokenness rather than the ecstatic font of new beloved, but it is still an elegant and powerful tome.^[1]

In keeping with the theme, side i offers brighter cuts, such as the promising new honey of "If This Is Merely a Game," which boasted a commercial sound that became a minor hit for Coe, reaching #45, his highest charting single since "Willie, Waylon, and Me" hit #25 in 1976. "Mississippi River Queen" is a travelogue of outlaw machismo cut from the aforementioned cloth every bit the Waylon Jennings "I'm a Ramblin' Human being." The tricky "You Can Count on Me" is a song of utter devotion, while the optimistic "Tomorrow Is Some other Twenty-four hours" returns to the Jimmy Buffett sound Coe had mined on his previous song "Defined Do It Deeper." Side two, the Su-I-Side collection, begins with what AllMusic calls "a masterpiece, with its syncopated vocal lead lines, country-waltz tempo, and huge backing chorus." From there, the story descends into a cheating, drunken abyss. "She Finally Crossed Over (Love's Cheating Line)" is a bitter study in self-pity and betrayal ("My best friend loved her right out of my mind...") and the downwardly-and-out barroom anthem "Jack Daniels, If You lot Please" would become of Coe'south more than pop songs. Another drinking song, "Whiskey and Women," features Janie Frickie on background vocals. The anthology closes with the southern rock boogie of "Suicide," its riotous groove at odds with the foreboding lyrics.

Reception [edit]

Man Emotions peaked at #45 on the country albums chart. AllMusic calls it "one of Coe's better efforts in the 1970s."^[1]
