Junkers Jivers & Coke Fiends brings together 18 insights into the altered state of minds between 1926 and 1952. Charley Patton tells of the perils of heroin, Luke Jordan speaks of cocaine’s vice-like grip, and plenty more have tales of the destructive power of drugs to tell – but it has rarely been so musically satisfying.
