HENDRIX Voodoo Child Live! #shorts #guitar #classicrock #jimihendrix

“Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 that appears as the final track on the groups’s third studio album, Electric Ladyland, released that year. It contains improvised guitar and a vocal from Hendrix, backed by Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. The song is one of Hendrix’s best known; it was a feature of his concert performances throughout his career, and several live renditions were recorded and released on later albums.

After his death in 1970, Track Records released the song as a single in the United Kingdom using the title “Voodoo Chile” (see confusion over title). It became Hendrix’s only number one single on the UK Singles Chart, reaching the top position during the week of November 15, 1970.[5] Several artists have performed or recorded versions of the song. Rolling Stone magazine included it at number 101 on their original 2004 list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.

Origins and recording
“Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” was developed from “Voodoo Chile”, which had been recorded May 2, 1968, during a studio jam with Steve Winwood on organ and Jack Casady on bass.[6] The next day, Hendrix returned to the studio with Redding and Mitchell for the filming of a short documentary by ABC television.[6] Noel Redding explained, “We learned that song in the studio … They had the cameras rolling on us as we played it”.[6] Hendrix added,

[S]omeone was filming when we started doing [Voodoo Child]. We did that about three times because they wanted to film us in the studio, to make us—’Make it look like you’re recording, boys’—one of them scenes, you know, so, ‘OK, let’s play this in E, a-one, a-two, a-three’, and then we went into ‘Voodoo Child’.[7]

According to Hendrix biographer Steven Roby, eight takes of the song were recorded by Hendrix, Redding, and Mitchell, and the final one was chosen as the master, which appeared on Electric Ladyland.
