And I'm with you on the brilliance of Jeff Beck. I keep discovering more and more projects he's been part of, with musicians in all different genres and he awes every time. This version here, that starts with just Beck and Walden is so good; it feels like a full band even before the bassist joined in.
What, no Sting? I know most everything beyond his first couple of solo albums is hard to listen to, but his "Little Wing" from Nothing Like the Sun is pretty solid. And what's even better? This version he did, sung in Spanish!
I think this is one of Hendrix' songs that has been covered admirably well over the years. Maybe more than any other. All the versions you share in your story are excellent, though I particularly loved The Coors version. I hadn't heard that one before and the arrangement is sublime.
Thanks Steve! The Corrs choice was a risk because some rock fans think they're cheesy. I love them, and agree re. this arrangement. Had not heard the Sting versions. Just played the Spanish one. Not bad, but the piano bridge is sort of odd!
Jeff Beck is a beast! Love this live version!
