Once Upon a Rhyme

Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek wrote, "[Once Upon a Rhyme] and its predecessor, The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy, established Coe as a major songwriting force; they remain enduring testaments to his songwriting brilliance as a criminally under-examined talent in the country tradition."^[1]
