Thank you for all the great music it has carried me through good times and sometimes bad . Always calms the storms of life and gets me back on track. Again thank you!
I'm with you there! I'm in disbelief that I haven't seen this too! I'm one of those die hard from the beginning lovers of everything Rickie Lee! I'm in Love all over again! Hope you're doing well and enjoying her 'Living Room Concerts' on Facebook! Blessings ♥️🎵
Turning this hard rock electric Hendrix piece into cool acoustic jazz is nothing short of genius. What an arrangement, not to mention the vocal interpretation!
+Clamchucker well I dont know much about hard rock and stuff but the original is pretty much on the same beat and vibe so it aint that surprising if u think about it
+Ran Perry: The original is all electric, a product of the psychedelic theme which Hendrix emulated so well. It is solid rock. Jones has converted it to an acoustic jazz piece. Listen to the original, then this. I believe you will notice a difference. Yes, the key is the same, the cadence is as well, but it is a completely different sound. It is a magnificent interpretation of the original. Both versions are brilliantly executed within their own disciplines.
I have to agree with Ran, I would say the original is more jazz/rock fusion than hard rock. This just pushes it more into the jazz sphere. But I agree, both versions are great.
You may very well be correct, Dikardo StEvergeen. Your analysis may be more refined than mine. The Hedrix version may well be interpreted as "fusion." Thank you! [And yes, both versions are nothing less than magnificent!!!].
Unreal, this chick can do a killer cover of about anything musical, even does a killer rendition of Hendrix no less. And her choice of songs that she covers is amazing. Rickie's got a huge talent, and her voice makes me....aroused. Her ol' squeeze Tom Waites ( for no man) described her as the sexiest woman on the planet. She expresses it so well in her music.
Totally agree. Love her music: Her songwriting's awesome, her voice is one of a kind, and what a kind. And she seems like such a lovely human being. She said she wants her music to help heal herself and heal the people who listen to it. It certainly works. :)
Good jazz music! Good lady Rickie Lee! God blesse you!
THE DUCHESS of GROOVE...YOU ARE THE BEST RICKIE LEE...SUBLIME
Good groove, love, love, love!
Love the way she did this Hendrix tune❤
Wonderful,, genius ,, jazz and blues influence,great .....again !! Fred/France

Thank you...all these years later.
Jimi would have dug this!
Jimi would have loved both her vocals & the sweet guitar work (-:
Can one be super cool plus adorable too? Ricky Lee Jones.
Thank you for a drumless Up from the skies. I like to play with brushes on my drums. Itˋs awesome to play with it 🥁👍
Rickie looks amazing here !!
Jimi would like it Ricki Lee. Smooth job.
Thank you for all the great music it has carried me through good times and sometimes bad . Always calms the storms of life and gets me back on track. Again thank you!
I call myself a true, veteran fan of RLJ, & yet I'd never once seen this video-- until now. Thanks for posting this highly enjoyable piece of Art.

Fantastic!!! As always💖 thank-you
Surprised, how those nuances from Hendrix could transfer and be that natural, smooth it certainly is.
dig this fresh arrangement

@Clamchucker = Regrettably one cannot listen to the original on youtube, because the owners of Jimi's ghost are sphincters.
perfection, molto bene, love you ms rickie lee jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥
love it! Thanks!
I agree but Rickie Lee is great to do Hendrix such style as hers Thanks🤗
A rather strange Jimi Hendrix song, but I REALLY like the way Rickie Lee Jones does it here.

She has real SOUL.

GENIAL
Check out Kenny Rankin's version of this tune.

Rickie Lee channeling Jimi channeling Mose Allison. Doesn't get cooler than this.
marinman39 well put. Great performance of a classic song.
This is very nice but Ellen MacIlvaine(sp?) Did this song circa 1970.
is this true? Rickie singing Jimi Hendrix!

Why the changes in Jimis lyrics ?
It's jazz, you improv around the music and sometimes the words.
Rickie I just want to talk to you.

Didn't need the goofball imagery, just keep the camera on Rickie. She's a fascinating performer and looks great. Cut to the musicians now and then.
