"True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" comes from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band's debut album, which EMI America and Enigma released on August 10, 1984. Gang of Four guitarist Andy Gill produced it, and the credits capture a lineup that didn't last: founders Anthony Kiedis on lead vocals and Flea on bass, Cliff Martinez on drums and Jack Sherman on guitar, with all four sharing the writing credit.
Sherman had come in for founding guitarist Hillel Slovak, who quit before the sessions, as did founding drummer Jack Irons. After the tour Sherman was fired and Slovak returned, which makes this the only Peppers album with Sherman on it.
