Cover Versions
Hard rock band Led Zeppelin incorporated an expanded, rockabilly version of "Boogie Chillen'" into their "Whole Lotta Love" medley, and played the song at virtually every show between 1970 and 1973, as well as one of the 1979 Knebworth concerts and a few times on their 1980 tour of Europe. Performances can be heard on all three of their live albums (The Song Remains the Same, BBC Sessions and How the West Was Won). On the Led Zeppelin DVD, the song can be heard during the How Many More Times medley on their 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance.
The re-recording of "Boogie Chillen'" as "Boogie Chillen' #2", released in July 1950, most commonly heard on Canned Heat and John Lee's collaborative album Hooker 'n Heat, was the basis of the boogie style famously used by ZZ Top on their signature song "La Grange" and was the subject of a lawsuit in 1995.
Buddy Guy and Junior Wells did a cover of the song on the album Alone & Acoustic (1981).
American rock group The White Stripes also covered the song while on tour promoting their fifth studio album Get Behind Me Satan.
Van Morrison and Linda Gail Lewis covered this song as the final track on their 2000 album You Win Again.
George Thorogood covered this song as "New Boogie Chillun" on his 1982 album Bad to the Bone.
Detroit garage rock revivalists The Gories recorded a cover version on their 1989 album Houserockin'.

then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen.””
