"All Along The Watchtower" was written and originally recorded by Bob Dylan for his 1967 album, “John Wesley Harding”. It was released as a single but did not chart. However, Jimi Hendrix recorded it for his “Electric Ladyland” album 6-months later and his version peaked at #5 in the UK and #20 in the US. It is usually hailed as the greatest cover song of the rock era.
