What was Bob Dylan’s reaction upon hearing Hendrix's rendition?
Dylan described his reaction to hearing Hendrix’s version in an interview:
''It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn’t think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day.''
In the accompanying booklet for his album Biograph, Dylan said:
''I liked Jimi Hendrix’s record of this and ever since he died I’ve been doing it that way. Funny though, his way of doing it and my way of doing it weren’t that dismissive… Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it’s a tribute to him in some kind of way. ''
