Rock’s All Time BEST GUITAR SOLOS! Pt 17 #shorts #guitar #guitarsolo #classicrock #jimihendrix

“All Along the Watchtower” is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan from his eighth studio album, John Wesley Harding (1967). The song was written by Dylan and produced by Bob Johnston. The song’s lyrics, which in its original version contain twelve lines, feature a conversation between a joker and a thief. The song has been subject to various interpretations; some reviewers have noted that it echoes lines in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 21, verses 5–9. Dylan has released several different live performances, and versions of the song are included on some of his subsequent greatest hits compilations.

Covered by numerous artists, “All Along the Watchtower” is strongly identified with the interpretation Jimi Hendrix recorded with the Jimi Hendrix Experience for their third studio album, Electric Ladyland (1968). The Hendrix version, released six months after Dylan’s original recording, became a Top 20 single in 1968, received a Grammy Hall of Fame award in 2001, and was ranked 48th in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004 (40th in the 2021 version).

The Jimi Hendrix Experience began to record their version of Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” on January 21, 1968, at Olympic Studios in London.[47] The song is strongly identified with the interpretation Jimi Hendrix recorded with the group for their third studio album Electric Ladyland.[48] Hendrix was musically attracted to Dylan’s songs several times in his career, according to engineer Andy Johns. Hendrix had been given a reel-to-reel tape of Dylan’s unreleased recordings at that point by publicist Michael Goldstein,[49] who worked for Dylan’s manager Grossman.[50] “(Hendrix) came in with these Dylan tapes and we all heard them for the first time in the studio”, recalled Johns.[47] He initially intended to record “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine” but changed this to “All Along the Watchtower”. Two years later he would also record “Drifter’s Escape” from the John Wesley Harding album.[51]

Stubbs writes that this was the second of Dylan’s songs Hendrix had adapted to his own style, the first being “Like a Rolling Stone” played earlier at Monterey.[26] A third song Hendrix adapted from Dylan is identified by Zak as “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window”
