Ari Joshua Takes Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile” Into Deep Space And Back

Ari Joshua’s fierce cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile” is truly a kind of spiritual channeling!

Ari Joshua has released his version of “Voodoo Chile” by Jimi Hendrix via Music Factory Records. The song involves Ray Paczkowski on keyboard and Russ Lawton on drums. This cover captures the spirit of Hendrix. However, it also makes its own way through improvisation. Ari’s guitar work in this song is filled with raw intensity. Also, his vocals channel his personal spirit and reverence to Hendrix as well. Ari recorded this cover in a single take at Tank Recording Studio. The tracking of this song was done by Ben Collette. This adds to the natural energy of the song. Jonathan Plum of London Bridge Studios has handled the mixing. All these bring the music of both Hammond organ and drums into sharp focus. The final mastering was done by Joe Lambert. He neatly polishes the sound. However, he has made sure that it doesn’t lose its original edge.

“Ari Joshua’s cover is backed by a powerhouse lineup of musicians.”

The cover art of “Voodoo Chile” gets just as much attention as the audio itself. The illustration is done by Burgandy Viscosi and the layout is done by Monte Mitchel of Forest Shore Designs. These artists bring the cover art to life. It beautifully complements the musical journey of the song. This cover is definitely a soul stirring trip that honors Hendrix. It also pushes the original song into a new cosmic territory.
