Jack White has a recent album out, Blunderbuss, on which he puts his own stamp on the Little Willie John classic I’m Shakin‘. My own first taste of this song was Dave Alvin and the Blasters‘ version back in 1981 which was great version pretty much in line with the original and has always served as the one which comes most quickly to mind. Dave Alvin has long been a favorite of mine but has always flown well under the radar of most folks. unfortunately. But I do like this version from Jack White. I came across a YouTube video of the song that has set footage of the dance line from a vintage episode of Soul Train to the song and it fits pretty well. Plus it’s great to have a chuckle at some of the styles from that time, which looks to be the mid to late 70’s, judging by the number of big bell bottoms.
Anyway, here it is to give your Sunday a shakin’ start…

Here’s a coincidence. I just bought Blunderbuss on Saturday (on vinyl, of course, because I’m such a geek) and I’m Shakin’ just about tore my head off. I immediately pulled out my Little Willie John version (on vinyl, of course) and now I can’t shake I’m Shakin. I want to stop people in the street like Kevin McCarthy’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers guy and tell everyone to listen to this song. Just listen.
I am distantly familiar with the Blasters cover, but I’m old school and for me it was always Little Willie John. The guy’s voice just leaves me breathless.
