i bought this david allan coe CD the other day.
here is the run down of my experience:
it doesnt say live anywhere on the Cd but it is live
there was a sticker over david allan coe's face on the cover. why is this important? well it is a picture from the concert where this is recorded and it would have tipped me off that not only is this a life recording but it is one that was recorded in the nineties when he was old as crap (he still is old as crap but whatever).
there is a parental advisory on the CD but the one bad word that is used is bleeped out. when you bleep out a cuss word from a live CD you have to bleep the music too which is very distracting.
in the first song he makes a referance to liking the music of kid rock. WTF.
in the hit single you dont even call me by my name he manages to ruin it during the last 30 seconds of the song by breaking into eminem's hit the real slim shady.
so, what does this show us? it shows us that if it aint broke dont fix it i would have been fine with the CD if he hadnt done that last little bit. the version of talking to the blues that is on the CD is actually quite good. as you can see

Once you own Greatest Hits (and there are, like, 7 greatest hits albums to choose from) and maybe Penitentiary Blues - you've pretty much got all the David Allen Coe that you need.
