Younger generations of guitarists will most likely recognize “All Along the Watchtower” as a track by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and they’d be right. But, if they go back a few more years in contemporary music history, they can check out the original version written and performed by Bob Dylan on his John Wesley Harding album.

After a bad spill on his motorcycle, Dylan penned some of his classic songs, like this seminal track, at the same Columbia Studios where he would later record his Blonde On Blonde album. According to author, Olof Bjorner, in his book Still on the Road: The Songs of Bob Dylan, 1974-2006 , Dylan recorded the track November 5, 1967, and a couple of months later Jimi Hendrix began to lay down his studio version while in London.

Although Bob’s version was well-received, Jimi’s version hit the streets later that year when he released his Electric Ladyland album, reaching the #5 spot on U.K. charts and #20, back in the U.S. on Billboard. Word has it that the Electric Ladyland sessions were a strain, with Dave Mason having some challenges on guitar and Experience bassist Noel Redding getting fed up and bolting, leaving Hendrix to cover the bass parts.

Dylan dug Jimi’s version and noted on the booklet of his Biograph album, “I liked Jimi Hendrix’s record of this and ever and ever since he died I’ve been doing it that way…Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way.”
