Dylan said that Jimi's version is the way it should be played :salute:


yes sir.

“All Along the Watchtower” is a song originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan on the 1967 album John Wesley Harding. The Jimi Hendrix Experience version was released sixth months later and became a Top 20 single in 1968. The song was included on the album Electric Ladyland and first released as a single on September 21, 1968. The b-side of the Hendrix single version was “Burning of the Midnight Lamp” in the U.S. and “Long Hot Summer Night” in the U.K. The single reached number five on the British charts and Number 20 on the Billboard chart. Upon hearing the Experience’s version, Dylan described his reaction: “It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent. He could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn’t think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day.”

As for Dylan himself, in the liner notes to his Biograph collection, he writes, “Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way. I liked Hendrix’s record, and ever since he died, I’ve been doing it that way.”
