The wind cries Mary
It is very thrilling to see, how a piano-playing hepcat made it to transfer Jimis guitar swing on piano and brass.

I have to say I prefer the Hendrix version by far, though the Cullum one ain't so bad as people are making out!

Both of this versions are nice listening. This tells you a little about the strength of the song not the preformer. It's said that you can't destroy a good song, I think it is true. My vote goes to Hendrix. He was first and wrote it. But I listen to both versions.

I quite like the groove on Jamie's recording but it's a shitty rendition as he strips the song of it's proper meaning and feel, turning it into a piece of jaunty fluff. Also, on principle because JC's own songs suck and Hendrix is, of course, God.

Two totally different styles of music here so obviously people are more than likely only going to like one version. Anybody who is into classic rock will undoubtedly hate the Cullum version. Anybody who likes pop jazz will probably like Cullum's. This is an impossible comparison as each song sounds completely different. I like them both for what they are and depending on my mood would listen to either of them.

I really don't like Jamie Cullum and hate this cover in particular. I feel Cullum is a brilliant but maybe autistic musician, he can copy everything he has ever heard and even mix and combine styles as well, but his heart isn't in it (if he has a heart). His music sounds effortless and to some people that's pretty amazing, but to me it's just tiresome, boring and even belittling.

Never send a boy to do a man's job. Jamie Cullum's version is fine as a novelty, but Hendrix makes it live. And he was not, by the way, a lousy singer.
