Stevie Ray Vaughan – Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Stevie Ray Vaughan – Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Album: Couldn’t Stand the Weather
Released: 1984

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a musical powerhouse, taking on the Jimi Hendrix classic “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” and putting his own bluesy, gritty spin on it while still showing respect to the man who influenced his career.
Watching Stevie perform the cover live as seen in this video with his sheer technical skill and musical prowess are enough to inspire you to pick up a guitar for the first time…and then put it right back down

This killer live rendition is an instrumental piece, featuring a range of improvised solos with the song ranging anywhere from 8 to 10 minutes or longer in length.

If there was ever a guitarist alive that could match Jimi Hendrix note for note, it was Stevie!

Stevie Ray Vaughan, Voodoo Child!07:59

Stevie a luat piesa clasică a lui Jimi Hendrix, și și-a pus ampreta sa de blues pe melodie, acordând respectul cuvenit celui care l-a influențat în cariera sa muzicală, încă de pe când era un copil.

Stevie Ray Vaughan – Voodoo Child (Slight Return) a fost compusă și înregistrată de Jimi Hendrix în 1968, inclusă pe albumul Electric Ladyland, piesa fiind mai mult instrumentală cu intervențiile vocale ale lui Jimi. Stevie Ray Vaughan și Double Trouble, au înregistrat cover-ul lor în 1984, apărând pe două albume: Couldn’t Stand the Weather și Live Alive.

Este evident că dacă a fost vreodată un chitarist în viață care poate să-l egaleze pe Jimi Hendrix notă pe notă, acesta a fost Stevie.

Lyrics/Versuri:

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand
‘Cause I’m a voodoo child
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child

I didn’t mean to take you up all your sweet time
I’ll give it right back to you one of these days
I said, I didn’t mean to take you up all your sweet time
I’ll give it right back to you one of these days
And if I don’t meet you no more in this world
Then I’ll, I’ll meet you in the next one
And don’t be late, don’t be late
‘Cause I’m a voodoo child
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child
I’m a voodoo child
