Bob Dylan certainly wrote some great songs that only realized their full potential once other artists sang them.

I'm not sure I'd have wanted to have an experience with Jimi Hendrix even when he was alive.

Best there ever was.

Jimi was years ahead of his time as a guitarist. A legend!

I have often said this exact thing..

To me some kid 50 years from now will hear All Along the Watchtower and feel something.
I also think The Animals version of House of the Rising Sun has the same impact.

Finally..BSG All Along The Watchtower just because.. =)

There is a link between Hendrix and The Animals.

American didn't recognise the talent of Hendrix.

Animals bassist Chas Chandler while on a trip to America saw Hendrix playing in a local club. Chandler invited Hendrix to move to England to pursue his career. Chandler became his manager.

This has always been one of those crank it up songs for me. The local rock station before it went under played it pretty much daily.

Since he used bongos in his music you hear some interesting percussion that you don't hear in most popular music.
For instance at :39 there is a nice burst of percussion there.

Hendrix played on this recording with little Richard but you can barely hear him in it sadly. The song charted at 92 for 1 week and slipped into the deep blue.

Hendrix had joined little Richards touring band and they recorded it while stopped at Los Angeles California in 1965.
