Jack White's is paced a bit faster; more frenetic. I happen to like Jack White's version better. The artists who create the sound first though, always get props. No doubt that this version will go down in history as a great classic.
The record this was originally on came out when I was in college. I bought it, for reasons I no longer remember. Absolutely DESPISED it. Only record I ever tried to take back. (They wouldn't accept the return, of course.) For whatever reason, I kept listening to it from time to time. Somewhere in there, my opinion did a 180; now I love it.
Maybe that was only interesting to me.
I love albums like that. Most Wilco records take me a year or more before I realize how much they mean to me.
Godlike to me, hearing it changes the day for the better Jack White's pales in comparision

Someone Had Blundered. (Apologies to Tennyson). Maybe the person who uploaded it to RP couldn't find the info at the time.
It came out in '82. I got this album a few years after that... Someone commented here that "I'm Shakin' " never really takes off; the best song on the album—"I Love You So"—definitely does.
with I'm Shakin' came out in 1981, the year I graduated from college. I picked it up back when it was released, as I pretty much jumped on anything on the Slash record label back in the early 80's.
Why does it say you don't know what year this came out? I'd love to know, a co worker and I are discussing it. :)

Oooooo - Blasters! My world is complete now. Thanks, RP! After hearing David Alvin's version of "Highway 61," I was jonesing for some Blasters, and here they are. Yum, times ten.
Some Jason and the Scorchers would fit nicely here, too....

Little Willie John was the original lyrisist, as far as I researched. Billy Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band did a great version at their live shows in and around the Pittsburgh area in the 80's and 90's. Billy still does this at shows nowadays with a new band, when he's not teaching at PITT.
