(1972)"30 Days in the Hole" was the seventh single by English rock outfit Humble Pie, one of the first so-called supergroups of the 1960s-'70s. Released in 1972, the song became a radio hit but failed to chart. The
B-side on its US release was "Sweet Peace and Time", while everywhere else they were "C'mon Everybody " and "Road Runner".The song, a group composition, mentions many
illegal drugs ,slang references formarijuana such as Durban poison, a potent strain originating fromSouth Africa , and Black Nepalese, a type ofhashish .The song has been much covered, most notably by
Gov't Mule andMr. Big , and remains possibly one of the group's better known songs.Credits
