Come on guys...
All Along the Watchtower? (Has anyone even heard the Bob Dylan version? Not that good IMO. Of course, I've never been a Dylan fan...)

This is so wrong it isn't even funny. Seriously. No one can touch Hendrix's version. After that there are a number of good ones including Dave Mason and various Dylan renditions.

Warren Zevon kept Linda Ronstadt full with songs for a while.

Warren, Linda, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Waddy Wachtel, John Hiatt, etc. had a great music cartel going in the late 70's/early eighties.

Realistically, Stevie didn't make it his own, but he gave the song a bump.
I like em both,both for different reasons. No one but SRV could have done as much with this tune, thats all.

ok, I'll buy that. I just get a headache when people say that a SRV version blows away the Hendrix one. I don't think SRV would even have said that.
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) on Electric Ladyland is one of the most mindblowing guitar pieces ever laid down. SRV does it justice, but it doesn't blow my mind. |
