All Along The Watchtower/ Burning of the Midnight Lamp

What a great find! The talent, influence, and inspiration of Jimi Hendrix cannot be overestimated, despite having only 8 singles to his credit during a tragically short career. Of those eight, three of them rank among the greatest 1,001 singles of the Rock'n'Soul era, according to Dave Marsh's essential reference book. And "All Along The Watchtower" is at the top of Marsh's Hendrix list. It was also the artist's biggest pop hit -- and the only one to reach the Top 40 of Bilozoard Hot 100 chart.\r\n
