Blissed out from his appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, Hendrix brought a delicate touch to this ballad during a 1967 London session. In a mere 145 seconds, he conjured a gossamer reverie. Hendrix played one of his most lyrical solos through a Leslie speaker cabinet (which creates an oscillating sound) and later added glockenspiel to complete the mood.
