All Along the Watchtower

OK one more cover for the road. Hendrix's seminal meisterwerk - a ripoff of Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. In which Mr Hendrix takes Mr Dylan's wailing dirge, pulls it to pieces, stamps on it, sets fire to it, and reconstitutes the ashes into a thing of beauty.

Even if you don't like the song, you have to admit Hendrix was Sex on Legs.
