I thought it was 'voodoo chile'

One of the comments from the video "Re: the chile vs child debate, when I see the "chile" version it reminds me of Kesey's famous peyote chile from Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, and when I see the "child" version it makes me think that Jimi was well aware of connecting to and working in the spirit realm of the energy he was descended from and drawing upon."

"Well she's walkin, through the clouds. With a circus mind, that's running, 'round. Butterflies, and zebras, and moonbeams, and fairy tales. That's all she ever thinks about, riding with the wind."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_cd7F4faXg Sorry, but you just gotta love the lyrics of Little Wing. ;)

Voodoo Chile by Jimi is a favorite though.

And who can forget All Along the Watchtower?

Those 3 are my favorites.

And, you gotta just loooovveee this:

I have to go with something by Alejandro Escovedo, few people outside of Austin Texas have heard of him but I think he's one of the best song writers active today, I make it a point to see him whenever he comes to Northern California.  

Video and audio quality isn't the best but this song was probably the closest he ever came to having a radio hit.

Here's another, it's a reunion show for a band he was in 10 years ago.
