|previous song = Providence
|next song = Push & Pull
|introduction = Purple House is the fourth track (third song) on the 2004 tribute album Power Of Soul: A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix. The track is a cover version of the 1967 track Red House by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (written by Jimi Hendrix), which first appeared on Are You Experienced (1967).
The name of the track was changed by Prince to mirror his famous association with the color purple.
Recording dates and studio are unknown, but it is likely that initial tracking took place in 1999 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA. The track features Larry Graham (who had turned down an offer to play with Hendrix at the 1968 Woodstock festival) on bass guitar. |recording info = |- align="left" |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|1999 |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA |style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"|Initial tracking |recording personnel = *Prince - all vocals and instruments, except where noted

- This song is a cover version of another artist's song. As such, any cover version of this song should not be considered a cover version of Prince's version (unless performed as Purple House), but of the original, and so these are not listed here.
