Best title ever. And funky as hell.

Decent psychedelic jammage. While I'm not totally fond of all the songs, Voodoo Childs are amazing and All Along The Watchtower is the best cover song the w9rld has ever seen.

I agree, Voodoo Child is an amazing song! and although Bob Dylan wrote All Along The Watchtower, Hendrix took the song to a new level and made it his own! There are so many great other songs on this album, it's a classic great from the psychedelic era IMO.

to me Voodoo Child (Slight Return) sounds clearly the best song on the album -- if covers don't count, that is, AATW is best -- and Voodoo Chile is third. I don't enjoy all thr songs so it was bad move to place the two best songs last IMO.
