This is the B-side of "Ace Of Spades", a cover of the Charles Clark and Willie Dixon Band track first realeased in 1958. The Milkshakes, amongst many other bands/singers, also covered it in 1984. They drew on classic rock 'n' roll and blues, blending the past with the raw energy of the 80's garage punk scene.

Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon

Robert Plant used to hide behind the curtains at home and try to be like Elvis. There was a certain ambience between the curtains and the French windows, there was a certain sound there for a ten-year-old.

In his teens Robert left King Edward VI Grammar School for Boys in Stourbridge. He had a strong passion for the blues, mainly through his admiration for Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson and early renditions of songs in this genre. He sang in a number of bands, and he idolized rock and roll and blues music artists such as Elvis Presley, Muddy Waters, and Sonny Boy Williamson.
