Voodoo Chile

"Voodoo Chile" is a song performed by Jimi Hendrix, found on his album Electric Ladyland. Recorded on May 2, 1968 at the Record Plant in New York City, the late night recording session included Mitch Mitchell, drummer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Steve Winwood of Traffic on the B3 organ, and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane on bass duties. The song, basically a 15-minute blues jam, evolved into the final product over the course of an hour.

The song evolved over time from a song called "Catfish Blues" which Jimi also called "Experiencing The Blues", an homage to Muddy Waters, made up of a medley of verses based on Muddy Waters songs including "Rolling Stone", "Still A Fool", and "Rollin' And Tumblin'". http://www.emplive.org/explore/experiencing_blues/expblues.asp
