 Muddy Waters' version also uses Jackson's guitar figure and the starting of the vocal on the IV chord and he interpreted it as an unusual fifteen-bar blues (an uneven number of measures, rather than the traditional twelve bars or somewhat less common eight or sixteen bars).Muddy Waters recorded a second version of "Rock Me" for his 1978 album "I'm Ready".Lil' Son Jackson's "Rockin' and Rollin'" was inspired by earlier blues songs.
