The reissued album touches on two of the most controversial aspects of Coe's legend. The first is the charge that he's a racist, made after a series of X-rated "joke" songs he recorded in the Seventies, including "hahahahahaha Fucker," which got him confused with "white power" performer Johnny Rebel. "Anyone that hears this album and says I'm a racist is full of shit," Coe says, adding that the slur entered his vocabulary in prison, where he received encouragement to write the songs that would make up Penitentiary Blues from a man in the next cell: R&B singer Screamin' Jay Hawkins. "I was one of about fifteen white boys . . . and that word didn't mean nothin'. I used to have to fight my way outta everywhere because I hung around black guys."
