Electric Ladyland

The double LP features 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return),' 'All Along the Watchtower' (a Bob Dylan cover), 'Crosstown Traffic,' 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp,' and '1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be).' 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' became one of Hendrix's most iconic songs and features one of the most famous guitar riffs in rock history.

Hendrix took an increasingly dominant production role on Electric Ladyland, spending extensive time on overdubs and studio experimentation—much to the frustration of bassist Noel Redding and producer Chas Chandler, who left the project midway through. The album was recorded primarily at the Record Plant in New York City, and Hendrix is credited as producer alongside Chandler.

The original UK cover, released by Track Records, featured a photograph of nude women, which was controversial and led to the album being distributed in a brown paper bag in some stores. The U.S. cover, released by Reprise Records, used a different design featuring a red-and-orange portrait of Hendrix.

The track features Jimi Hendrix on guitar and vocals with the Experience's Mitch Mitchell on drums. Traffic's Dave Mason contributed 12-string acoustic guitar, and Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones played percussion on the session, making it one of the most star-studded recordings of Hendrix's career.
