According to Wikipedia, “Crosstown Traffic” is a song written by Jimi Hendrix recorded in 1967 and released in 1968. It was the second single released from the album Electric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It peaked at number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at #37 on the pop singles chart in the United Kingdom.

Unlike many of the tracks on the album, this recording features the full line-up of the Experience with Hendrix, Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell. Hendrix also plays a makeshift kazoo made with a comb and tissue paper in tandem at points with his lead guitar, and backing vocals are performed by Redding along with Dave Mason.

The song refers to Manhattan’s traffic between the East and West sides infamously known for its thick congestion. With its hard rock riff, the song is an example and mixture of blues and acid rock.

Cover versions of the song are numerous, having been recorded by Gil Evans, Charlie Daniels, Hed P.E., Shudder to Think, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Living Colour, the Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra and played in concert by countless others.

In 1991, it was recorded by Emily Symons and the Channel 7 Australia ensemble Farmhouse. The 1972 David Bowie song “Starman” guitar part before the chorus, has a similarity to the before chorus guitar parts of the Jimi Hendrix “Crosstown Traffic” 1968 originally recorded version.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience was an American-English rock band that formed in Westminster, London, in September 1966. Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jimi Hendrix, bassist and backing vocalist Noel Redding, and drummer Mitch Mitchell comprised the group, which was active until June 1969.

During this time, they released three studio albums and became one of the most popular acts in rock. In April 1970, Hendrix, Mitchell, and bassist Billy Cox performed and recorded until Hendrix’s death on September 18, 1970. This later trio was sometimes billed as the “Jimi Hendrix Experience”, but the title was never formalized.

Highly influential in the popularization of hard rock and psychedelic rock, the Experience was best known for the skill, style, and charisma of their frontman, Jimi Hendrix.

All three of the band’s studio albums, Are You Experienced (1967), Axis: Bold as Love (1967) and Electric Ladyland (1968), were featured in the top 100 of the Rolling Stone list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, at positions 15, 82 and 54 respectively. In 1992, the Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Jimi Hendrix arrived in England on September 24, 1966, and with his new manager and former Animals bassist, Chas Chandler, formed a backing band with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Mitchell was a seasoned London drummer formerly with Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames.

Hendrix chose Redding because of his attitude towards music and his hairstyle. Redding had been a guitar player until that time, but played bass in the band. The name “The Jimi Hendrix Experience” was coined by their business manager Michael Jeffery.
