Wait Until Tomorrow - Jimi Hendrix - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Jimi Hendrix rocks out on this funky tale of sex and murder. "Well, I'm standing here freezing / Inside your golden garden / I got my ladder leaned / Up against your wall," he begins, setting up the story over rhythm-loaded groove-laden guitars and a psychedelic glaze. On this cautionary tale, the lustful lover comes to a bloody end: he's shot dead by the girl's father ("Click, bang! / What a hang"). Taking its cue from the 1960s soul genre, "Wait Until Tomorrow" was one of the standout cuts on the wah-wah–powered Axis: Bold as Love; the second album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience aka Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell (drummer/backing vocals), and Noel Redding (bass guitar). Axis: Bold as Love reached the top ten in both the US and the UK and gave birth to two of the band's live, R&B-influenced mainstays: "Spanish Castle Magic"—which featured a trippy backwards guitar solo—and "Little Wing."
