"Voodoo Chile" is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience from the album Electric Ladyland. Recorded on May 2, 1968 at the Record Plant Studios in New York City, the recording session included Mitch Mitchell, drummer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Steve Winwood of Traffic on B3 organ, and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane on bass duties. The song, basically a 15-minute blues jam, evolved into the final product over the course of an hour.

After many of the late night Electric Ladyland recording sessions, Hendrix and the band went to one of the New York City clubs to jam with whoever was there. One such jam at The Scene Club included Steve Winwood and Jack Casady. Noel Redding was not present as he had stormed out of the Record Plant studio earlier that evening. They spent the night playing "Voodoo Chile", and when the club closed, Hendrix invited everyone back to the studio. At about 7 a.m. the next morning they began to formally record "Voodoo Chile". It took only three takes and the final 15 minute version was Hendrix's longest studio recording. The second take did not come out well, since a string broke. The first and second takes are used in "Voodoo Chile Blues" that is a combination of two takes released on Hendrix leftovers-album called Blues.

While "Voodoo Chile" sounds like a live recording, the crowd noise was actually recorded afterwards. Some twenty people were brought to the studio to record appropriate background noise.

The song evolved over time from a song called "Catfish Blues" which Hendrix also called "Experiencing The Blues", an homage to Muddy Waters. The song was made up of a medley of verses based on Muddy Water's songs, including "Rollin' Stone", "Still A Fool", and "Rollin' and Tumblin'".blues/expblues.asp" target="_blank">http://www.emplive.org/explore/experiencing_blues/expblues.asp

The song "_Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" appears on the same album.

Stevie Ray Vaughan later came out with several versions of this song, including a live 15 minute version recorded in Tokyo in 1985.

The song was included in the Gran Turismo soundtrack.

"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is the last track on the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Electric Ladyland. The song is well known for its wah-wah-heavy guitar work, influenced by Muddy Waters' "Rollin' Stone".

"Voodoo Child" was released posthumously in 1970 as the A side on a three-track single, and reached Number 1 in the UK. Unfortunately, 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 on the album Electric Ladyland. The B-side of the single featured two of his previous hits: "Hey Joe" and "All Along the Watchtower."

"Voodoo Child" is a dance song written by Elvis Costello, James Ash and Steve Davis, produced by Ash for the Rogue Traders second album Here Come the Drums and was the first single for the new member Natalie Bassingthwaighte. It was released as a CD single in Australia on May 27, 2005 as the first song released from the album. It was later released in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2006 as a digital download and CD single.

The song samples the riff from Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up", and he receives credit in the liner notes of some (but apparently not all) printings of the album's liner notes. The song marks a move away for Rogue Traders from standard dance music to a more electro-punk sound. According to band member James Ash,
