Two of rock ‘n’ roll’s most distinctive voices — Miljenko Matijević of Steelheart and Jeff Keith of Tesla — join forces for a fiery new take on Foghat’s live version of the Willie Dixon-penned blues classic “I Just Want To Make Love To You,” famously performed by Muddy Waters and Etta James. This electrifying collaboration is out now on all major streaming platforms.
Bursting with raw power, infectious energy, and undeniable chemistry, this track goes beyond a simple tribute — it’s a full-throttle celebration of friendship and rock ‘n’ roll spirit. Matijević and Keith pour their distinct styles and powerhouse vocals into the mix, breathing new life into the classic with a modern spark and their unmistakable fire. More than just a collaboration, it’s a union built on genuine camaraderie and a shared passion for timeless rock energy.
“This isn’t just about the music — it’s about having fun, feeding off each other’s energy, and letting that spark light up the studio,” says Matijević. Keith agrees, adding, “Whenever Mili and I get together, it’s fantastic. We’re big fans of this song, and we couldn’t wait to dive in and make it our own.” Bringing the song full circle, the duo have gotten an endorsement from FOGHAT’s Roger Earl, who is celebrating their heartfelt tribute.
More than just a musical collaboration, their joint interviews have become legendary for their rock ‘n’ roll stories, humor, and candid behind-the-scenes banter — offering fans a real look at the bond that fuels their electrifying performances. The song made its world premiere on Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk on SiriusXM on October 1 at 1 p.m. PST, accompanied by a lively interview, with highlights now available on channel 103 via the SiriusXM app.
