“Third Stone From the Sun” is a song written and originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix and released as “3rd Stone from the Sun” on the 1967 Are You Experienced album by Jimi Hendrix Experience. It is mostly an instrumental, but includes pieces of spoken word, performed by Hendrix, over the music.
The lyrics come from late Texas blues guitarist, Albert Collins' “Love Me Like You Say.” Gary pays homage to his fellow Texan’s sound immediately after the opening 3rd Stone hook—right before beginning to sing and also right before he launches into the final solo guitar run of the song.
