Who did it better?

Many songs get covered or re-interpreted, the covers often being more successful than the original.

Here are some cover versions of one song along with the original, let us know in the comments which is your favourite, or if you don’t like any of them.

“Shake Your Moneymaker” is a song written and released as a single by Elmore James in 1961.

It has been covered/re-interpreted by many other acts including:

Fleetwood Mac on their 1968 debut album “Fleetwood Mac”.

Johnny Winter on his 1986 album “3rd Degree”.

George Thorogood on his 1988 album “Born To Bad”.

The Black Crowes (with Jimmy Page) on their 2000 live album “Live At The Greek”.

Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton at the Crossroads guitar festival in 2010.
