'Red House' is a Blues song, written and first performed by famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The original (mono only) version appeared on his debut album Are You Experienced, released throughout most of the world (except USA & Canada). On this version, Noel Redding plays electric guitar tuned to resemble a bass guitar. Despite Hendrix's complaints, the song was omitted from the USA compilation release of the album because the recording company reportedly argued that "America does not like blues".

This mono cut only became available in the USA & Canada when it was released (minus the chat at the end) on the posthumous Blues album. A different stereo take of 3 minutes and 49 seconds, recorded about the same time as this, was featured on the 1969 US Smash Hits compilation album. This version was unavailable outside of USA & Canada until the Kiss The Sky CD compilation. The Blues album also features a live studio jam version - onto which Hendrix's introduction from a different jam has been dubbed - "Electric Church Red House". This was recorded by The Experience featuring Lee Michaels playing Hammond organ. Most Hendrix concerts featured this song, which is included in Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight.

While playing the song at Woodstock, Hendrix snapped his high E-string in the middle of the performance and kept playing the second half of the song with just five strings. "Long" versions of the song like the Woodstock rendition are generally about 6-10 minutes. One of the longest recorded versions of the song is his nearly thirteen-minute long version at the San Diego Sports Arena, which is found on Hendrix in the West, a live album sampling four different shows.

Red House was inspired by Hendrix's first love Betty Jean Morgan and the New York apartment where Hendrix first dropped acid with then Keith Richard's girlfriend Linda Keith.[1]

The song has been covered by a few other blues musicians. On the album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy covers this song. Albert King covers it on an album named for the song. Also, John Lee Hooker has played the song and it appeared on the Dirty Bones Band live CD Stronger Than Dirt featuring a 19 year-old Tom Guerra on lead guitar. Grammy Award-winning rock band Toto covered this song on a live album.It continues to be played live to this day.

The band G3 also covered this song in their 1996 tour, with the guitarists being Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Respectively.

Hey, nothing personel, but whatever the hell you're trying to accomplish here ain't workin'. Mixing your playing with recorded music doesn't fly, and if I understad correctly that this is the version of Red House that graces Hendrix In The West, I have but one word. WRONG!

Nice job on one of my all time favorite Hendrix tunes.Went crazy trying to buy it back in the day until Smash Hits was released. I had recently heard an alternate studio version on the radio and I think you explained where it came from. Saw him do this live with the Experience at M.S.G. in NY.Thanks !
