The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower

Release date: 1968

This was written and originally recorded by Bob Dylan in 1967, but it was the Jimi Hendrix cover that made the song famous. Many other artists have covered it, including Eric Clapton, Neil Young, U2, Dave Matthews Band and The Grateful Dead. Dylan was so impressed with Jimi's version that Dylan for years played it the way that Jimi had recorded it. 

The original version of this song is very slow. Jimi Hendrix' version had a large impact on Dylan which made him make his own version "heavier." 

Album: Electric Ladyland
