Done as a jam in the studio late one night. I think Steve Winwood and a few others were in on it. The bar room sound effects were added later on to make it sound live. But it was done in the studio.
This is a masterful look into the way Jimi felt about himself. (ala Burning of the Midnight Lamp, Hear My Train AComin') My Friend says how he has so many people that want to be around him because he is "Jimi Hendrix" the rock star. His only true friend...the only one he can trust to be there in good times and bad...is HIS SHADOW!!!
Upbeat song that is pure blues sadness.
Incidently, I believe Noel Redding claims that the idea for this song was stolen by Jimi from one of Noel's own songs he wrote for his solo outfit "Fat Mattress".
OH DO I LOVE THIS FREAKING SONG!!!

Mitch Mitchell said, "he was a naive man", and of course shy!
