Notes

All Hopkins recordings use the title Ain't It Crazy. His version is based on an earlier song with various titles around the theme of Rubbin' That Thing.

The Mother McCrees release uses the title Ain't It Crazy (aka The Rub)

The Rub is not known to occur as a title elsewhere. It is used here as it was the name the members of the Grateful Dead used when referring to the song.
