Other Versions
Over the years, many blues and other artists have interpreted and recorded "Rock Me Baby". Although "most contemporary versions are based on Lil' Son Jackson's 1951 record, 'Rockin' and Rollin'", "B.B. King and Muddy Waters can share credit for making it one of the most familiar blues songs of all time."
Some studio versions include Otis Redding from Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965), The Animals from Animalism (1966), Jeff Beck as "Rock My Plimsoul" from the Truth album with slightly altered lyrics (1968), Blue Cheer from Vincebus Eruptum (1968), Robin Trower from the album Twice Removed from Yesterday (1973), Johnny Winter from Still Alive and Well (1973), Hot Tuna from Historic Hot Tuna (1985), Tina Turner from What's Love Got to Do With It (1993), and Steve Miller Band from Bingo! (2010).
Live versions include those by Jimi Hendrix from Historic Performances Recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival (1967, released 1970), Jefferson Airplane from Bless Its Pointed Little Head (1968), The Doors from Live in Detroit as part of medley with "Heartbreak Hotel" (1970), Deep Purple from Made in Europe as part of medley with "Mistreated" (1976), Eddy Clearwater from Black Night (1979) and The Rolling Stones from Live Licks (2003).

Famous quotes containing the word versions:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
