John Wesley Harding includes songs like All Along The Watchtower, which was covered the following year by Jimi Hendrix, The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest, which gave its name a few years later to one of the greatest heavy metal bands, Judas Priest, and I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, which was successfully covered by Robert Plant in 1990.
