Johnny Horton question....?!
Question: I was talking to some people and they said there is a song by Johnny Horton that is a very racial song (I Hate N-----). I have never heard this before....out of all my searching I haven't found this song....I found it by Johnny REBEL not Horton... but these people still believe it's by Johnny Horton...please help? I just don't believe he would record something like that.....I think it was just miss attributed to Johnny Horton....thanks!

I do not think Johnny Horton put out anything like that. I know David Alan Coe did, but not Johnny Horton.
Johnny Horton was pure , very patriotic , that song is By Johnny Rebel , he has a whole library of racial songs.

You're correct, it was miss attributed when someone put it up on one of those file sharing sites under Horton's name. A shame, really!
Not only were these people wrong but they are stupid as well. This is the kind of ignorance that hurts good people.
I do believe you have hit the nail on the head, but that won't change the minds of those who have already made their decision in believeing otherwise. As long as you know the difference is what is important. Good Luck!
Tex is 100 % correct with his answer. Johnny Horton didn't and never would record anything like that. I also do know that David Alan Coe did a complete album of racial and porn type songs using his own label DAC.
No, it wasn't him, but if you search on Limewire, etc, his name may pop up...people have mistaken the names, that'all. It was more likely David Allen Coe.
