The song has been recorded by a number of artists, including Jeff Beck, whose version has been acknowledged by Rolling Stone magazine. Original song"I Ain't Superstitious" is a mid-tempo stop-time blues song that does not follow the typical chord progression.[2] The song "is not merely an electric version of the blues practiced in the Delta; it is something wholly new, a more aggressive and sophisticated Chicago cousin that acknowledges contemporary jazz, R&B, and pop forms".[3] Backing Wolf (vocal and guitar) are pianist Henry Gray, guitarists Hubert Sumlin and Jimmy Rogers, drummer Sam Lay (drums), and with Willie Dixon on upright bass.[1] "I Ain't Superstitious" is included on several Howlin' Wolf compilation albums, including the 1969 Chess album Evil. Jeff Beck versionEnglish rock guitarist Jeff Beck recorded "I Ain't Superstitious" for the 1968 debut album Truth by the Jeff Beck Group, featuring Rod Stewart on vocals. Called "a well-known classic-rock-radio staple",[3] Beck's version is "an inventive and inspired recording that manages to inject even more power into the updated arrangement".[3] The song's prominent feature is Beck's guitar work: "At every break, Beck's aqueous wah-wah tone makes his instrument sound like it's talking".[4] His version was ranked number 86 on Rolling Stones list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".[4] Renditions"I Ain't Superstitious" has been recorded by numerous artists, including George Lynch, The Upholsterers (Jack White's original band), Tesla (all based on Beck's version), The Grateful Dead, The Yardbirds, and Savoy Brown. The song's author Willie Dixon recorded it for his 1970 album I Am the Blues. Megadeth covered it on their 1986 album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? (with the lyrics changed significantly). Carlos Santana covered the song for his 2010 solo album The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time, with Jonny Lang on lead vocals. AwardsIn 2017, Howlin' Wolf's single was inducted in to the Blues Hall of Fame.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite AV media notes| title = Howlin' Wolf: The Chess Box| others = Howlin' Wolf| year = 1991| first = Dick| last = Shurman| authorlink = Dick Shurman| publisher = MCA/Chess Records| id = CHD3-9332| page = 29}} 2. ^{{cite book| author = Hal Leonard| title = The Blues| section = | year = 1995| location = Milwaukee, Wisconsin| publisher = Hal Leonard| isbn = 0-79355-259-1| pages = 96–97| ref = harv}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web| url = http://www.allmusic.com/song/t1933419| last = Janovitz| first = Bill| authorlink = Bill Janovitz| title = Howlin' Wolf: I Ain't Superstitious – Song Review| website = AllMusic| accessdate = March 6, 2011}} 4. ^1 {{cite journal |year=2003 |title=100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time |journal=Rolling Stone |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20947527 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080530224813/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20947527/page/36 |archivedate=May 30, 2008 |accessdate=March 6, 2011 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://blues.org/hall/|title=BLUES HALL OF FAME - ABOUT/Inductions - Blues Foundation|website=Blues.org|accessdate=21 January 2018}} External links
