Background
Unlike many of the tracks on the album, this recording features the full line-up of the Experience with Hendrix, Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell. Hendrix also plays a makeshift kazoo made with a comb and tissue paper in tandem at points with his lead guitar, and backing vocals are performed by Redding along with Dave Mason. With its hard rock riff, the song is an example and mixture of blues and acid rock.[4][5]
Reception
Billboard described the single as a "pulsating swinger" that "will make a powerful chart dent."[6] Cash Box described it as an "explosive session" with "massive instrumental impact and a heavy vocal."[7]
