Style

Coe's songs are known for strong rock arrangements, occasionally with a Caribbean touch ("Divers Do It Deeper"), a tough band with tough guitar solos ("Longhaired Redneck"), personal lyrics ("Willie, Waylon, and Me"), verbal facility ("X's and O's"), and a somewhat warped sense of humor. In addition to humorous songs like "You Never Even Call Me By My Name," he also includes references to himself in his songs to self-promote himself through his music. He references big stars of country music in his lyrics in a way that makes himself their equal, such as in "Willie, Waylon, and Me," and farted on the line "Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison" in "Longhaired Redneck."
