He would sit all night long feeling bad and just continue singing and playing, improvising one song after another, and tears would stream from his eyes. And he'd get other people crying. Then, sometimes, he would be on another kick, you know . . . love. He'd just love women. Listening to him he'd make you think you were, well . . . this can't be written down, but you know what I mean. That is, you couldn't understand what the hell he was singing, but you didn't have to - Blind Lemon Jefferson, remembered by Josh White

Mississippi John Hurt - Cocaine?
« on: March 22, 2021, 10:54:11 AM »
Did John Hurt ever record a version of “Cocaine Blues”?

There are several videos on YouTube attributing a Keith Richards recording of “Cocaine Blues” as being by John Hurt.

Hi Mark,
John Hurt did not record any version of "Cocaine Blues" of which I'm aware.
All best,
Johnm
