I’m Shakin’

Jack White songs feel like they’re in a hurry. ’I’m Shakin’’ is a blues cover stripped to the essentials—just what’s necessary, moving with a kind of precision that cuts against the simplicity. He treats the blues like an argument, every second accounted for. No padding, no flourish, nothing wasted. Just the song moving forward and finishing before you can catch your breath.
