Stevie covered a lot of Hendrix's songs, but this is by far his best, IMO. I don't think it should even be considered a cover, because this version takes the song to a new level. I first heard the song about two weeks ago, and I've been hooked on SRV ever since. I haven't heard a version done by SRV with the words yet, though. Are you sure it's not only the instrumental version?
