Dreamer & Voodoo Child: Appreciation or Appropriation?

Is it tribute or appropriation or both?

Most critics are saying Jimi-inspired... Dreamer is so structurally similar to Voodoo Child, almost as if it's the same song played in a slightly diff key with some variation. Anyone else hearing it?

Obviously an inspiration, but it's not THAT close.
