Artist: Earl Hooker
Author: Earl Hooker
Label: Age
Year: 1961
Instrumental on Chicago subsidiary of Mel London's Chief label. His only (local) hit. Earl first cut a Blue Guitar in '53 for Sun (with Pinetop Perkins on piano), but that reording was shelved for a Sun Blues Archive comp and surely wasn't Muddy's example for You Shook Me, let alone for Led Zeppelin's. See also: You Need Love.
Covers:
Muddy Waters [vocal version as You Shook Me over same track as the original; just crediting Willie Dixon, who only wrote the words]
