Given the chance to choose a song to close the show Kevin went for Francis Lockwood Trio’s version of ‘All Along the Watchtower‘: “It’s a famous song by Bob Dylan that was covered fantastically by Jimi Hendrix…this song is a great version of it. It kind of almost redefines the song in the same way that Hendrix did many years ago.”
