In this video, we explore Stevie Ray Vaughan's iconic cover of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" from his second album, "Couldn't Stand the Weather" (1984). Vaughan, a devoted admirer of Jimi Hendrix, believed it was crucial for people to hear Hendrix's music. Though he remained faithful to the original, Vaughan infused the track with his unique style, making it his own. Sam Kemp of Far Out magazine and Damian Fanelli of Guitar World both praise Vaughan's ability to smooth out Hendrix’s experimental edges without losing the music’s power or excitement, effectively introducing Hendrix's avant-garde blues to a new generation. Vaughan often performed "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" live, with standout versions included on the albums "Live Alive" (1986) and "Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985" (2001). Join us as we celebrate Vaughan's incredible talent and his heartfelt homage to Hendrix.
