It's very good, but I prefer Tom Waits' version, as well as Mo Tucker's (Velvet Underground drummer). They both use Leadbelly's original phrase "I gets you in my dreams", which to me is much more harrowing and moving than the usual "I'll see you in my dreams", which Keith uses.

The Stones in a club is
still the ultimate rush.

Video isn't available here, but I sure hope it isn't Keith telling that his version is a masterpiece. The horror!
