rebel meets rebel

Rebel meets Rebel is a country metal album by the band of the same name. It was a one off record written by Pantera members Dimebag Darrel, Rex Brown and Vinne Paul along with American country singer David Allan Coe. 

The idea for the album was inspired when Dimebag Darrell met Coe at the end of the 90's and they were discussing the similarities between metal and country music. The album was recorded between 1999 and 2003 when the musicians had time away from their own bands and was released in 2006, two years after Dimebag Darrel was murdered. The album's theme is mainly a humerous representaion of South American life but also has a few serious undertones. 

The album was widely accept by fans of both genres of music and has been described as a groundbreaking mix of country music and heavy metal. There are no live recordings of the band, which is a shame but have a listen to Cowboys Do More Dope by Rebel Meets Rebel
