I just don't feel like SRV's version adds anything to the original

Agreed. Not sure it warrants its status as a classic.

I ended up searching YouTube for Voodoo Child and came across a cover by Jess Greenberg. I have have now decided that her and Meytal Cohen need to join forces. Good lord. Meytal is still my favorite but jeez, I'd play any video they made together on a constant loop.
