Jack white does these songs well, but it has nothing to to with god putting him here to bring back the blues. A lot of old blues artists live in Detroit. It's still alive there. And always has been.
They really have picked the pace up of this song over the years. I think this is one of the oldest and slowest versions I have seen of them doing it. Thanks for uploading.
whoever uploaded this, really good sound. I tried another link and wow, this is amazing compared to it. Good stuff... LOVE this song.. love it love it
word...there's something about the crackliness of the recording, and just imagining blind willie as a busker (which he was) playing this for pedestrians.
Jack White's Version is = Blind Willie Mctell's version

I can nott be trusted, I can't be satisfied
when the men see me comin', they sart pinnin' their women to their side
and my baby, she's got a mojo, she's trying to keep it hid
but jack white's got something to find that little mojo with
