The bass stays pounding and Mitch changes up the beat making many fills, the guitar and organ both get solo breaks including a call and response sort of thing where they try to copy the other mans fills. After he sings for a bit they go for the jam. As Jimi sings the lyrics with a very nice blues voice, he is accompanied with a heavy blues rythym with guitar and organ fills being thrown around every where. The song is made of Jimi, Mitch from the Experience and Jack Casady on bass and Steve Winwood on the organ. Voodoo Chile As we make the transmission from the short pop/rock song to this 14 min all-star blues jam, the listener now doesnt not know what to expect for the rest of the album. Again no real flashy guitar but the creativity of the tone and the part on the guitar are amazing.5/5 This song proves Mitch Mitchell a tank on the drums as he pretty much pulls the song through the verse.
