You know Miles, I have never given you a TD and I'm not going to now, because that would be petty, and I don't care for pettiness if you get my drift. Why didn't you just simply skip the question if you didn't like it?
Separate songs. Voodoo Chile is a 15 minute jam, and Voodoo Child is a 5 minute rocker. As for the connection to the country Chile, I'm not so sure about it. He sings "Cause I'm a Voodoo Chile" in the chorus.
Voodoo Chile is just a slang way of saying child......Boo. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"'s genesis was essentially in "Voodoo Chile", a long blues jam featuring guests Steve Winwood and Jack Casady. On May 3, 1968 (the day after "Voodoo Chile"'s recording), a crew from ABC filmed the Jimi Hendrix Experience while they played. As Hendrix explained it: "Someone was filming when we started doing that... We did that about three times because they wanted to film us in the studio—'Make like you're recording, boys.' So it was 'OK, let's play this in E, a one, a two, a three, and then we went into 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)'".
There is NO song officially named just "Voodoo Child". But of course sometimes people omit the words "slight return" or write "Child" instead of "Child" (or vice versa). So sometimes you cannot be sure what song they have on their mind.
"Voodoo Chile" is a 15-minute long song, basically a blues jam (recorded in a studio, but based on one real jam session).
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is based on the previous song, but is much shorter (5 minutes) and is mainly a psychedelic / hard rock song with famous wah-wah effects.
