Actually she did a wonderful version of 1983 in London in 2005 in which she almost rapped the lyrics. I'm really glad Are You Experienced? is on Twelve but it might've been nice to just have done an album of songs from the Hendrix songbook like jazz vocalists do songs from the Cole Porter songbook.
