9 Songs So Good You Didn't Know They Were Covers

4. Jack White - I'm Shakin' (Originally By Little Willie John)

Since his days in the White Stripes, Jack White has made a career out of reinvigorating long-forgotten styles. From garage rock to electric blues to baroque pop, he's done it all, often all at once. For his first official solo album, Blunderbuss, White seemingly brought every one of his influences to the table, most overtly in his cover of Little Willie John's "I'm Shakin'."

Upping the tempo and converting the horn track into a fuzzy guitar riff, White was able to accomplish what so many cover artists before and after him have failed to do, creating a "rock" version of a blues song without losing the soul of the original.
