It was an NPGMC download but no official tracklist details what previous NPGMC downloads will be included.

the guitar he uses on this particular track is called Habibi.I'm not sure if it's an intentional version or cover of Hendrix,but it def borrows from it.

Man,Hendrix is so nasty.I have this concert of his somewhere and he is playing and then he leaves the song.The band tries to keep up a while,but Jimi has left the damn planet!!He plays this incredivble solo and I think he isn't even conscious of what he's playing.I think it's all just feeling. Then,slowly,he comes back to earth and back to the song.The band pick up where they left off.This is like a 12 - 18 minute song and it is just beautiful!!

What does the word "Habibi" mean, anyway? Anyone?

There's a very deliberate quote from the Purple Haze solo in it, too. Definitely a Hendrix tribute/pastiche.

I'm sure it will be on there. Can't see why it wouldn't since it was a NPGMC download. I hope we get a nice edited version of One Song without the speech. Its one of my guilty pleasures.
