You Shook Me

This is a cover of a Willie Dixon song of the same name. Parts of the song appear to be borrowed from Robert Johnson's Stones in My Passway: 'I have a bird that whistles, and I have birds to sing, I have a bird that whistles, and I have birds to sing.' Before Zeppelin's cover of this song, the Jeff Beck Group released a version on their album Truth and Beck later claimed Page copied his arrangement. The fact is that Page plays on a song he gave Jeff (Beck’s Bolero) for this album. John Paul Jones also makes an appearance and both he and Page heard the Truth album at least six months before the first Led Zeppelin album saw the light of day. The song was originally recorded by Muddy Waters.
