Here 18 songs testify to marijuana’s pleasure-giving qualities with great good humour and generous appreciation. Fine old Blue Singers like Trixie and Bessie Smith, Leadbelly and Lil Green, through jazzmen like Frankie Newton, Barney Bigard, Don Redman and Jack Teagarden on to popular entertainers like Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, and Ella Fitzgerald, all share the relish for the not-so-forbidden fruit. Contemporary and typically lurid artwork drawn from the realms of popular pulp fiction well illustrates this ongoing narcotic mythology. Tracklist 1. Dope Head Blues - Victoria Spivey 2.
