1967 Bob Dylan Classic Was Absolutely Transformed By the Legendary Jimi Hendrix

Many songs in the history of rock have been transformed by iconic cover versions. However, few remain as profound as “All Along the Watchtower.” First written and recorded by Bob Dylan in 1967, the song was introduced to the world as a stripped-back acoustic treatment. Despite some fans’ relief at Dylan’s return to an acoustic sound, “All Along the Watchtower” was reborn as something far more explosive within a year.
