Tox Tunes #91: I Can’t Stand It (Memphis Jug Band)

What are you gonna do when your troubles get like mine
Take a mouthful of sugar and drink a bottle of turpentine
The Memphis Jug Band recorded in the 1920s and 1930s with an ever-changing lineup of musicians and instruments, usually including a liquor jug to provide the bass line. The 1960s blues-rock band Canned Heat obviously borrowed from this song for their own Turpentine Moan.
