Roy Hogsed and the Rainbow Riders.
Coast Records - # 262 - 1947
Cocaine Blues / Loafers Song.
Roy gives us a really early version of the song made famous years later by Johnny Cash. Sparse guitar and lashings of accordion (Gene Dewez) which drives the solo. Roy sings this with gusto and you can see where Mr Cash got his inspiration. Top drug tune played with a smile !
