“Voodoo Child (Slight Return)“ is the last track on Electric Ladyland, the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The song is known for its wah-wah-heavy guitar work. It is #101 on Rolling Stone’s list of 500 greatest songs of all time.
The song was recorded in 1968, and was re-released as a single after Hendrix’s death in 1970. It reached Number 1 in the UK, making it the band’s only single to top the charts. It was catalogued as “Voodoo Chile” (Track 2095 001), and that is the title which appears on the single and is the title referred to officially. This obviously confuses it with the 15-minute song “Voodoo Chile” also on Electric Ladyland. The B-side of the single featured two of his previous hits: “Hey Joe” and “All Along the Watchtower”.
