"All Along the Watchtower" is a song by American singer-songwriter #BobDylan from his eighth studio album, #JohnWesleyHarding (1967). The song was written by Dylan and produced by #BobJohnston. The song's lyrics, which in its original version contain twelve lines, feature a conversation between a joker and a thief. The song has been subject to various interpretations; some reviewers have noted that it echoes lines in the #BookOfIsaiah, Chapter 21, verses 5–9.

Following up from yesterday, I’ve now had chance to listen to #JohnWesleyHarding again, but this time the 45 cut by #MobileFidelity.
As with some of their other reissues, this is a mixed bag. Over all, it’s likely an improvement: #BobDylan’s voice is front, centre, & v. natural. The harmonica is tamed & better handled than both the 1st UK mono & stereo. However, the bass is, on occasion, weirdly extended (it’s wacky on Frankie Lee).
