Great B&W image and use of vignette. This is a very pretentious cover of the great Big Joe Williams blues standard. I found the video on YouTube:

I see that John Mellencamp borrowed the classic guitar riff that Jimmy Page wrote when he played as a session musician on Van Morrison's version in the early 60s. It's not played anywhere near as well on this version as Page played it on Morrison's. I prefer Page's hard-edged guitar tone and the straight-ahead way he plays the riff. I have always thought that, although he was a blue-eyed, red-haired Irishman, Van Morrison's version of this song is the best ever recorded.
