Cough, cough, sniff, sniff
Hey man, take a look out the window
And see what's happening
Hey man, its rainin' its rainin' outside man
Oh don't worry about that, brother
Everything's gonna be everything
We'll get into something real nice, you know
Why don't ya sit back and groove on a rainy day
Sniff, yeah
Sniff
Yeah I see what you mean brother
Maybe I can groove
Rainy day dream away
Let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe and uh
See the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Well I can see a bunch of wet preachers, look at 'em on the run
The carnival traffic noise, it sinks
Into the splashy hum
Even the ducks can groove
Rain burdened in a park-side pool
And I'm leanin' out my window sill
Diggin' everything
And uh you too
Rainy day rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' up tonight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain
Your worries away
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Lay back and dream on a rainy day

I wanna hear more of that spiffy talking guitar wah-wah action! Couldn't agree more... I can't listen to that song without also listening to the next 2 tracks on Electric Ladyland. |

He also had skills with the wah-wah pedal, too. Friends in my circle don't call it a wah-wah pedal.... its just known as the 'Jimi' . As in 'That was awesome dude! You really wail on that Jimi!' |

The attendants strapped him on the gurney in such a way that he could not clear his throat and hence suffocated on his own vomit. He may have done drugs in his lifetime, but it ain't what killed him (directly). That's David Henderson's version anyway, not sure he was in the ambulance at the time, though. "Instead of laying him down in the ambulance, they sat him in a chair and strapped him upright. He tried to bend over so he could vomit, but one of the attendants quickly pushed his head back and strapped him in tighter. Jimi's head lolled back as the ambulance driver took off. The speeding ambulance pressed his body back in the chair and made it even more difficult for him to get his head down. He felt bile and vomit near his Adam's apple. Jimi was unable to speak. Even if he could, the ball of vomit in his throat prevented him. The vomit massed in his vocal chords. His lungs became congested. His heart began to pump harder, and the right ventricle dilated. Fluid began to seep into his lungs. He was rushed from the ambulance into St. Mary Abbots Hospital. The doctors work on him for over an hour, to no avail." |
| coloradojohn (Tokyo till Jan. 29, then it's back to Rocky Mtn Way!) | Posted: Jan 21, 2012 - 17:38 Jimi's good ANYTIME, but wow, this sure is perfect for a cold, gray, rainy Tokyo day like today... Thanks, RP! Let the good rock roll! |

| ra990 | Posted: Apr 28, 2010 - 22:21 Awesome. Always nice to hear something other than Purple Haze or All Along the Watchtower. |
| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Feb 24, 2010 - 17:30 hmmmm. .. .what did this guy die of???? |
| bachbeet | Posted: Nov 22, 2009 - 10:18 Great song. Love the jazz touch. Don't know if many here know this but Jimi played in other groups before breaking out on his own. One was as a backup musician for Joey Dee and the Starliters. In that same group were members of the soon to be formed Rascals. |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Oct 22, 2009 - 00:33 Very nice!! |

| ydjb (Blacklick, Ohio) | Posted: Mar 24, 2009 - 07:45 Classic Hendrix, and nice seque into a cover of Jimi's Up From the Skies - reminds me of "Rainbow Bridge" - a film we saw a lifetime ago - eerily prophetic |

Voodoo was Winwood's only track. On this song, it was the great B3 player Mike Finnigan. |

| smdeeg (SillyCone Valley) | Posted: Jan 07, 2008 - 15:20 I love Jimi, and he was a God, but that doesn't mean that everything he produced was God like (or even great). This is a fun little rambler with a cool jazzy thing, but not much else really. Too much other Jimi to spend too much time on this so my request: keep it light in the rotation mmmmKay. |
