Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
master in verse...his guitar tech is limited..but he don't seem worried none.Bob gets a lot of criticism ..especially since he called out restrictions regarding covid...when he eventually duo's with Woody up there...the nay- sayers will be lickin' his ass declaring him a "Wordsworth of Folk"....or some other crap.

With regards to Bob Dylan and Bob's own song All Along The Watchtower that Jimi Hendrix famously covered back in 1968 and appears on Jimi's studio album Electric Ladyland Jimi made that song 'his' song and I read a few years ago that Bob said whenever he performs that song live (same arrangement as Jimi's version) it always feels like he's covering Jimi's song and not his song. When an artist can 'improve' on an original version of another artist's song that is the mark of greatness and Jimi was certainly THE GREATESS OF ALL TIME.

Jimi also done a very good version of another Bob Dylan song called The Drifter's Escape that originally appeared after Jim's death in 1970 on the 1973 posthumous vinyl album Loose Ends in the UK and Europe but not in the USA although it eventually appeared back in 1997 on the cd release called First Rays of the New Rising Sun and put out by Experience Hendrix.

Finally Jimi covered a third Bob Dylan song earlier on around 1966-67 called Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window which appeared on a BBC radio session and much later on on a BBC radio sessions cd although I don't think the song was ever formerly recorded for an inclusion on any official Hendrix album.
