Hoyt Axton-Cocaine Blues

[ThelynxAZ]

This, the Ramblin' Jack and Townes versions are my favs, but god this has been recorded so many times!

[sfperkins36]

Man was a genius. Listen to his version of The Pusher

[prairiemark]

Better than Buffern?

[M1NDxPOE]

@prairiemark Bufferin was a "Pain Reliever Commercial" in the 1950s. as far ias i know is no longer used today.

[prairiemark]

@M1NDxPOE Bufferin was aspirin combine with and anacid.

[vt92psyc]

@M1NDxPOE Um.... Bufferin is a brand name for buffered aspirin. It is a pain reliever, not just a commercial. And yes, it is still available today.

[angeladouglas]

@M1NDxPOE Bufferin is just aspirin... and Hoyt is probably right about cocaine being better than bufferin :P

[thpaine1950]

@M1NDxPOE Bufferin was, as I recall, a brand name for buffered aspirin (had a coating that was supposed to reduce stomach irritation)

[MrCaseyg189]

@prairiemark buffern is another name for aspirin

[prairiemark]

@MrCaseyg189 Well...sort of....it is aspirin combined with an anacid....which makes it disolved more quickly and possibly makes it a bit less erosive to the gastric mucosa than aspirin alone.

Well he's got a nose for it. but remember (kids) drugs are bad mmmmmmmkay :)

[richardmann184]

His name is Hoyt, Not Holt.

[irreverentreverend]

Excellent find! Great songwriter and a great interpreter of other's music.

[GRITSMEISTER42]

Let's hope that Hoyt and his buddy, Jose Cuervo are writing many a hit song where the great singer songwriter has gone. Been missing you for a couple of years now, but your songs outlive you.

[M1NDxPOE]

its is! and i looked all ovwer for it and i dident see it, but one day i found an remake byTownes Van Zandt so i said ima put it up

[GRITSMEISTER42]

At last my favorite song by my favorite guitar picking singer is posted.

Greenback Dollar is terrific, but Cocaine Blues is the real McCoy.
