A song that you like in multiple versions
I like both The Rolling Stones and The White Stripes covers of Stop Breaking Down by Robert Johnson, but The White Stripes raw, elemental take on their debut album has the edge for me. Either way, both versions point crooked fingers back to Mississippi Delta blues creating signposts for subsequent generations to follow and, for those who subscribe to legend, prove the enduring nature of Johnson’s Faustian pact with the Devil.
