Mississippi John Hurt - Cocaine Blues

[Iamthewalrusgoogoo]

Not John Hurt for sure. Never heard him do those quick bend and release liek you can hear at :20 and :38 sec.

[casawi75]

Mississippi John Hurt

[bluesmanwithaV8]

Nice.

And yep it's Keith Richards version, not Mississipi John.

[DIDIDEVOON]

I HATE ALL REDNECKS................

DEVOON

[Music100Quality]

[deejayalemus]

@samanthasbirthday what is it about you religious idiots and spelling? Souls, not soles. No offense, but you're an idiot.

[SuperOlds88]

Keef is looking better

[overdoseofrocknroll]

Some lyrics are taken from COCAINE, by Universe

[GibbyGoba]

not J. Hurt (mississippi) keith richards in john's style. good version

[Fylswatter]

Keith Richards recorded this song in 1993 during the Rolling Stones "Voodoo Lounge" Sessions.

There are three different takes of "Cocaine" on the "Voodoo Brew" Bootleg. In this video can be heard the short first Take. At the longer (over 3 min) Take 2 Keith talks about Blind Gary Davis. Take 3 has a lenght of 5:32.

[GmanBayou]

uhum, grandmammy used to play this

[Lionel1871]

Richards!



[bigbisb]

It's Keith alright.

[mharsma]

yep keith richards



[thegoddamnyeti]

100% Keith Richards on this track.



[ciaranmcasey]

Well it's absolutely not John Hurt

[MiloSwerve]

John Hurt never did any version of cocaine. This is the Reverend Gary Davis version performed by Keith Richards. Gary heard a man playing this song at a country fair in 1915. You should change the details of this video, its irresponsibly wrong in 10 different ways.

[spirithorse1949]

there is also three other verses to it

[kiddykokane]

got Coke

[thegodswan]

I love Keif but no, this video got it right. It aint keith.

[Mjollnir50]

Keith copied his version, note for note, from Hurt. Hurt's version is based on Gary Davis's, which was covered by every sixties folkie of any note. Davis's starting point was a tune called Take a Wiff off Me. Get it right, folks.

[manwithsazbeatsit]

Check out the psychedelic cover of this by Universe on their self titled album

[guitarplayer3062]

i can hear the style of playing of keith

[guitarplayer3062]

yes its keith richards haha

[ryanjanvrin]

KEEF!!



[overthemountain67]

the people that think this is keith richards need there ears checked dumb red neck fucktards

[BigMan98023]

@overthemountain67 If you think this is mississippi john hurt your a complete idiot. have you heard his stuff ? this guitar dosnt sound like john hurt, the voice dosnt sound like john hurt. this is not mississippi john hurt.

[BigMan98023]

@overthemountain67 and you calling the "dumb red neck fucktards" kinda shows how much of an idiot YOU are

[thegodswan]

@overthemountain67 Gotta agree .. Youtube is full of retards ..

[777Lateralus]

[overthemountain67]

[bigbisb]

@overthemountain67 . Sure sounds like Keith to me.

[luckyMrRed]

@overthemountain67 haha your wrong, so where does that put you in the dumb line?

[777Lateralus]

[overthemountain67]

[shamrocked]

That's Keith!



[coolhellcat18]

That was not Keith Richards talking at the end of the song. And as far as the quality goes, just listen to his other songs on YouTube, they are just as crisp.

[hilbilygrlwthblues6]

MJH wanna b!!!Bahaha! Damn! ol man....dem damn DRUGS done took yo identity!!

[jeanhartely]

This ain't Mississippi. I know that much.

[TheScotter321]

[aliwhitwell]

[mixmixsim]

[ukhankman]

john hurt no doubt about it. keith did a damnd good take off though, he just lacked that little somsthing

[swiggy58a]

@ukhankman You people who think this is John Hurt are NUTS! That is DEFINITELY Keefs' voice! I'd know his voice anywhere; and have heard this version a dozen times.

[rev2347]

you people are idiots

[Bruno47602]

Woo!!!

[ivanolu1]

fuck whoever is singing, it does not matter it gives me shiver.

[TheWrestle119]

@ivanolu1 and that sir is an uneducated answer

[metyuewb]

@ivanolu1 Actually it does matter. Don't fuck him.

[jfman]

its Ernest, get it right kids!

[olbuddyrow]

cocaine around my brain!

[PepperoniWolf]

I'm pretty sure John Hurt couldn't afford cocaine for almost all of his life.

[genemz5]

That is not John Hurt. He died in 1966. They did not record guitar with that up front purity of sound. The voice is not his.

[bevanmcg]

Ha ha he,s blaming it on rambling Jack Elliot - Its not Keith Richards guys for fuks sake He's from London and talks Cokney (chim chim cheri) Whoever this is is American and most likely from the delta - you can hear the delta drawl !!

[peedutt]

100% Keith Richards my friend, with or without the chim chimeny. @bevanmcg

[mcphate]

false advertising.

[phlather]

[jamesmotomal]

Not John Hurt, who is it? Lightning Hopkins?

[UtzChips2009]

Keith Richards loves this song so much, he covered it note for note.

[FahQposeurfag]

@UtzChips2009 LOL

[aaron4wilkins]

Mississippi John Hurt didn't record a 'cocaine blues'

[demoreal]

you need to rename this you fucking idiot

[357magnum300]

Humans all make great music together ! Take one link out of the chain and you can throw away a life time of music and history . If we were all colored blind no one would have posted all this hate ! PEACE !

[paragardening]

Keith Richards? You are all smoking crack.

[BenjaminKuruga]

@paragardening It's definitely Keith

[pharcelle1]

The earliest scripts are found in Africa, which BTW was when you guy's were still running around without draws fighting your cousins, but your convinced you invented scales.

[pharcelle1]

Black peoples Created the Arts, the first musical instruments, Drums horns and stringed instruments, including the Harp ! Proof of this can be seen in Africa, embedded in stone within the houses of eternity which are called pyramids You have been mislead by your own people

leading you to believe that no other Race developed shit before you put your foot in it.

[pharcelle1]

Misleading Suckers ! Leaching from black man and profiting as per usual.

can't wait for you guys to invent warp speed and get your asses the fuck outa here !

[mothersgin138]

@pharcelle1 i know you black people think you created the blues and rock n roll, well with out the great european composers, you wouldent have notes nor scales so...no one is steeling from the black man and profiting from it...get over it.

[Rafzorz1]

@mothersgin138

you dont need notes and scales to make music -.-

[pharcelle1]

@mothersgin138 ninety percent of the worlds resources come out of Africa, while its majority of peoples are living below the poverty line. I don't know of any music conglomerate that is owned (like Sony for example) by blk ppl. While we were getting crumbs for our contributions, Jews and the like were establishing enterprises like HMV and Hollywood.. I would like to know what the fuck those great composers your talking about were Smoking when they made those scores!

[nottoberemembered]

@mothersgin138

"no one is steeling from black man and profiting from it"??? Are you Jimmy Page?

[tromboista]

@mothersgin138 LOL.

[bad81jsts]

GENIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!



[hek7]

Relax, we get it alright; this is not MJH but Keith Richard. Now get over it.

[samysauf]

this is from keith richards not from mjh but very nice to

[MrTomodon]

this needs to be relabled or taken down.

[guitarskatecraz1]

haha this Keith Richard's version. look it up.

[jpmayful]

@guitarskatecraz1 This is originally a John Martyn song from his debut album 'London Conversation'. Such a good albumn :-)

[guitarskatecraz1]

@jpmayful cool. i didn't know that. thank you for sharing

[C4rl1loc0]

@jpmayful I think this song is from Rev. Gary Davis.

[docorazius]
