“All Along the Watchtower“ is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
The song, which has been included on most of Dylan’s greatest hits compilations, initially appeared on his 1967 album John Wesley Harding.
Over the past 35 years, he has performed it in concert more than any of his other songs. Different versions appear on four of Dylan’s live albums.
Dylan recorded the song on November 5, 1967, at Columbia Studio A in Nashville, Tennessee, the same studio where he completed Blonde on Blonde in the spring of the previous year.
Covered by numerous artists in various genres, “All Along the Watchtower“ is strongly identified with the interpretation Jimi Hendrix recorded for Electric Ladyland with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The Hendrix version, released six months after Dylan’s original recording, became a Top 10 single in 1968 and was ranked 48th in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
