Hoochie Coochie Man-Jimi Hendrix

[DanielGarciaTF]

@MiNnEy1871 Very nice song & cover by Jimi Hendrix, but the description is not 100% correct. The song is not by Muddy Waters. It's true that they were first performing band, but in fact it was written and composed by William James 'Willie' Dixon. Covered after Muddy Waters by many and the most best performers of the world.

More info: Search Hoochie Coochie Man or Willie Dixon in Wikipedia (English version). I'm sorry, can't paste direct links here..

sounds like the birth of a voodoo chile

[bakikatana]

@jimiblotter machine gun was the birth of voodoo child, you can hear it if you listen he even says "i'm a voodoo child"

[EddieHazel74]

@bakikatana ??? Machine gun was written over a year after voodoo child (sr) was. Voodoo Child started as catfish blues at his concerts, then evolved into Voodoo Chile, the slow blues from electric ladyland with steve winwood and jack cassidy. Then a day later, they made the tight Voodoo child (sr). This was likely the inspiration of jimi's lyrics also, they are quite similar to Voodoo Chile. It's almost as if that song is the music of Catfish blues with the lyrics of hoochie coochie

[GoldenNakai17]

Did everyone come to this page to argue or to listen to Jimi do his thing!?!?

[whhswhhs]

Fine version but Muddy Waters owns this song.

[thumpah]

Jimi is a great artist but i don't think this is even the best cover of the muddy/willie original. check out Chuck berry's version which he apparently spontaneously played at the Toronto festival.

[russha717]

@Macsk8ing I guess that non-musicians can have their opinion too.

[Macsk8ing]

@russha717 I am a musician, besides skating, I play guitar and used to play piano... I have 8 years playing guitar, Im 19... 

[mkbzam]

@Macsk8ing i wouldn't dare arguing about hendrix's music with someone who skates. i'm not worthy

[mccurryburg]

@Macsk8ing i'm just wondering what to do with thumgs, now that i know YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT!

[krik54]

I haven't read all the comments, but this song was written by Willie Dixon, not Muddy Waters.

And Dixon played bass on Muddy's version.

Credit where credit is due....

[91pollici]

EXTRAGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[borntobewildpascal]

muddy water , jimi hendrix , Jeff Healey , eric clapton all fucking great

[Fiddstx]

I wouldn't say it's better than waters version but it's a good cover.

[JeguRocks]

Mitch Mitchell is SO underrated

[moopadoopolus]

@JeguRocks Thank you! I've being saying that all my life!

[MrMovebitch15]

who is the dumb ass who disliked this video so i can kick there ass. if dude

[RosaBarroca]

after Muddy just Jimmi

[kevin122380]

I love both Muddy and Jimi...you cant compare the 2 because they are both GODS!

There is no jewish-space zombie (christ)..just Hendrix,and Muddy!

[tenalexandr1991]

please tell me what 'better' is? whats 'better' supposed to be?!

[mjjcng8958]

@tenalexandr1991 lol nothing

[Relundimundo]

@tenalexandr1991 there is no such thing as better . i like the way you think man!

[chillydotjeff]

Ya'll check out Muddy Water's 'Electric Mud' album . .

[3gr8danes]

Muddy sang it best, Jimi played it best and Slow Hand made it best...

[TimMoraal88]

@3gr8danes Jimi was best in all 3!

[ciao333]

è nero anche lui..

[drockkclapton]

I love Jimi and I love this song, but the combination is not quite what you would expect. I watched Muddy do this song a minute ago, and now I'm gonna go listen to Hendrix do Red House.

[WesFR]

You can definitely hear some licks in here that Stevie Ray Vaughan used in his song Texas Flood as well.

[jsm355]

The version from Loose Ends album is the REAL DEAL .

Don't let anyone fool you on this .... This version can't hold

anything against the version presented here. This is

NOTHING by comparison to a more seasoned Jimi when the the LOOSE ENDS Album was recorded .

[Kynatics]

@jsm355 but but but...this is so gooooood *bawls* I lovveee Jimmmiiii!!!

[MilkFatMusic]

Muddy Waters still does it better.

[kimmedavid]

@MilkFatMusic ähm no?

[willwelsh816]

@MilkFatMusic yeah, you either need a really light an manuveralble voice(like the way buddy guy does it) or a real heavy voice(like muddy) to pull this song off and give it lots of power. Jimi had neither.

[kimmedavid]

@willwelsh816 how you can say anything bad about this song is beyond me ! just enjoy the great music played buy an guy with real talent and feeling...

[willwelsh816]

@kimmedavid I just said that he didn't quite have the kind of voice to pull it off like muddy did. I never said it was unlistenable.

[snakepitrockerHQ]

@MilkFatMusic well it is muddy's song... but jimi's version is still awesome!

[heavenlyrockstar]

@MilkFatMusic I don't think Jimi intended for it to be better, then muddy waters version.

[pierafeu9698]

@MilkFatMusic yes but it still a very good version

[borchabronx]

with the kind hand of Alexis Korner on the slide guitar, kan u digg on dat now bzatch ???

[mcpoil]

this riff is fucking epic ya dig bitch!!

[mtyemti]

Classic Blues Jam From The Master.

[Ilsezone]

ohhhh Baby *Jump* *shout*

[MsScarlettWoman20]

sounds bit like ''born under bad sign'' by Cream 5/5

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@MsScarlettWoman20 love both this song and born under a bad sign, play both of them every time i perform. did this song recently when i played in chicago blues jam at morseland, and did born under a bad sign backed by "two for the blues" band at the same venue, when i sing either of these, i think of muddy waters and booker t, the men who wrote them, and whatever song i do, i always tell audience i sing them in tribute to their love for the blues

[TheECWasHere75]

@MsScarlettWoman20 same sound but far from same scale and all that...

[popamariusadrian]

i didn't knew that jimi hendrix did a Hoochie Coochie

i didn't knew he did a jim morrison due either ...

but anyway i will try it on my guitar with the help of tuxguitar

[hambissimo]

RIP Mitch

[qwerly45]

This is from the bbc session album. amazing song. Blues rock outstrips punk rock by far.
