Voodoo Child

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) was one of the last songs recorded by Jimi Hendrix and the Experience at Electric Lady Studios before Hendrixs death in September 1970. The song is renowned for its innovative guitar work, use of wah-wah effects, and improvised solos. Hendrix often reported that the song was inspired by a dream in which he was walking under the sea.
