This has the same title. Not sure it's related, although the writer's credit on the Wiseman opus goes to someone named Smith.
Crazy Blues--Mamie Smith & Her Jazz Hounds (1920)

I enjoyed the tune by Mamie Smith and thank you for sharing. Other than the title, I don't believe there is any connection. The Mamie Smith version from 1920 was written by Perry Bradford. The Mac Wiseman version was written by Arthur Smith, and recorded by him on October 7, 1940. I couldn't find his version on YouTube so hastily
uploaded it for you.
