Led Zeppelin's self-titled 1969 album reaches back to Chicago for "You Shook Me", a blues that Muddy Waters had recorded in 1962. Willie Dixon wrote the words, and the songwriting credit on the Zeppelin cut names J.B. Lenoir alongside him.
Jimmy Page produced it and plays the guitar, with Glyn Johns engineering and Peter Grant listed as executive producer. Robert Plant sings and blows the harmonica, John Paul Jones is on electric bass and John Bonham on drums: four players dragging an old Chicago record into their own, heavier world.
