All Along The Watchtower (1968) - Jimi Hendrix



There have been many good versions of this classic Bob Dylan tune. Among my favorites are those by Dave Mason and Frank Marino. But it seems that this song was made for Jimi Hendrix and his version remains the best.

The only downside of this song is that it's too short. I've never heard an extended version or know if one was ever recorded but it sure needs an extension. It's like Jimi is teasing us with his talents.
