Van the Man did great cover of this on his live in SF CD.

I haven't seen it lately, but T-Mobile with the gal on the pink motorcycle{#Motor} was using the title track from this CD. Over and over as I heard the smooth guitar and vocals I had to research it. And sure enough Eilen...  Too bad Bill's not playing it here...{#Cry}

What fresh approach? Speed, vocal and guitar are almost identical.

couldn't agree more, at least from what I've heard hear on the RP Radio!  Had to buy this for lots of reasons.  Music being at the top of the list.

Uploaded, sorried. BTW.
 
I have a thin-sounding crappy MP3 bootleg of the Jet Black Berries doing it too. That's my favorite.  At least the version as heard on vinyl some years ago

  An aunt with a great voice, sure. But Wanda Jackson has the bad-girl cred, and that patented 'quiver' in her voice, to put her performance head and shoulders above all the rest.

Great tune: that guitar lick is iconic. Eilen Jewell does a great job, but after seeing Ms. Jackson rip into it, it seems like Ms. Jewell's version is too clean.

I would love to hear what I think was the original version by Johnny Kid and the Pirates. Duane Eddy is a great follow up! The Humble Pie Rockin the Filmore version of I Don't Need No Doctor or Hallelujah would also be great....just sayin' {#Drummer} {#Bananapiano}

Half-listening I thought this sounded familiar!  We just saw Eilen at the Johnstown, PA music festival in August 2010.  She puts on a great show, is very personable and very talented.  Had a great time.  If you have  the chance, check 'em out. You won't regret it.

Her rendition does not convince me that she is shaking all over.
I wish Jimbo Morrison had covered this one.

Just saw her in Raleigh a couple weeks ago.  Her guitarist (Jerry Miller) was so amazing to watch (and hear)  No youngster by any means, but man can he rock!

Same for me. The instrumental part is good but the vocals??? The delivery is incongruous with the lyrics. Shivers and shakes? She sings it like "Oh, by the way, you really turn me on. Pass me the remote."
 

That was my reaction to it!  You expressed it better than I did though.

Don't care for it. I guess I'm too used to The Who's version. THAT one had some emotion.
This is too {#Sleep}.

"Really good rendition of the original."

Actually the original was by a group called Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.  The first hit in the US was by the Guess Who.  Then the Who did it at Leeds.
 
Check Adam and the Ants.

Rockin' song, but I'm not much interested in the singer's musculoskeletal difficulties.
