Yeah, I’m tired of wasting all my precious time/
You got to be all mine, all mine.

The lyrics of Jimi Hendrix “Foxey Lady” are about as straight-forward as you can get. Jimi sees a hot woman and he is not going to waste his or her time; nor is he gonna do her harm. He made up his mind, he is going to take her home tonight. Listen to the song. How could she resist? Here he comes!

The guitar work is amazing, but what makes it more so, is that Hendrix is playing it while he is singing. If you notice, the guitar work is a lead guitar piece throughout. Most guitarist will play rhythm while they sing and let someone else play lead guitar. Almost every guitar player does it this way.

It is just too hard to do both well at the same time due to the different rhythms involved. Very few people can do it. Three names come to mind: Hendrix, Buckingham and Clapton. I would rank them in that order. Also, listen to that introduction with the distortion. That simply wasn’t done before.

I have no idea about the spelling of “Foxey Lady” but it was originally spelled that way, not “Foxy Lady”.
