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 failed since one guitar string snapped. Noel Redding Noel Redding (25 December 1945 – 11 May 2003) was a rock & roll guitarist but best known as the bassist for The Jimi Hendrix Experience. ...
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'". [1].
