Foxy Lady

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Foxy Lady is a song by Jimi Hendrix from his 1967 album Are You Experienced, featuring as the lead track on the official UK edition. It can also be found on a number of his greatest hits compilations, including Smash Hits (1968/1969) and Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix (1997). The name of this song is often spelt "Foxey lady" with an "e", but this is incorrect [1]; although, this song is commonly known among fans and critics as "Foxey lady" with an "e"[2].

Foxey is actually an old English word meaning rank, or stinking [3]; No actual clarification has been given as to the correct spelling.

The song is best known for its appearance in the film Wayne's World, and is also known for its repeated guitar riff and solo, and is one of Hendrix's earliest uses of feedback in a studio recording.

Kathy Etchingham, Jimi's girlfriend at the time, claimed to be one of many inspirations for "Foxy Lady".
