LYRICS
"All Along The Watchtower"
Written by Bob Dylan
"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
said the joker to the thief,
"There's just too much confusion, man
I can't get no relief.
These businessman they drink my wine,
They come and dig my earth
None of them along the line,
know what any of it is worth.
"No reason to get excited,"
the thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is just a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now,
the hour is getting late"
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
"All Along The Watchtower"

inside track
There are a number of versions of this song, some with different lyrics than Bob Dylan's original. The Jimi Hendrix version of this song was always my favorite. And even with five different guitar tracks in my song, it will never be as good as Jimi's. I believe he was the greatest guitarist of our lifetime. Check out my blog to read the story of how I met my "guitar hero" while hitchhiking to see him in concert back in 1969. Listen to the Jimi Hendrix version:

REVIEWS
Nicole has an exotic take on Bob Dylan’s legendary tune “All Along the Watchtower,” as violinist Susan Jones imbues the tune with an Indian mystery. Niko Lyras’ guitar follows a similarly intriguing path, moving with snaking Santana-ish lines between Jones’ flourishes and Nicole’s gruff vocals. He then switches to acoustic for an offbeat solo segment before returning for another scorching turn on the electric.
