I confess I missed out on your book (I will correct that soon!) but I love this description of Hendrix's reimagined All Along The Watchtower. I included some insights into its creation here: https://rockandrollglobe.com/blues/jimi-hendrixs-electric-ladyland-reissued/

Arguably the greatest cover version ever recorded, where the artist reimagines and makes it their own.

I can't help think of 'Withnail and I' whenever I hear it 😀

Thank you for your insights and analysis of this wonderful track and artist.

Definitely his best recording- it cemented his enduring reputation as a god of the electric guitar.
