Billy Roberts wrote this song in 1962....his version is on youtube

Извини, Джимми, но моя любовь отдается the leaves, лол. Это не единственная их крутая песня.

Damn! To this moment I thought Hendrix created this masterpiece.

WOW. Always loved Hendrix and was curious to hear the previous version of Hey Joe. Didnt expect it to be garage punk!! Fantastic. Also I hear a Byrds influence in the guitar.

Gen Xer here. In a search for who sang backup vocals for Jimi's version, ended up here. I do get why people love this, but Hendrix's version has so much soul to it. Anyway. To each their own.

I bought this album in the early 70's in a 50 cent bin at Woolworths. I just played the album the other day and still like it. "Girl from the East" was one of my favorites.

Not played on “classic rock” stations

Ice pick guitar

La segunda guitarra en algunos pasajes de la cancion es identica a "Needles and Pins" de The Searchers

Cant believe the bassist made the logo for the ny jets

Singer really reminds me of Jack White, wonder if this was an inspiration of his.

This was their 3rd recorded vesion of this great song they wrote. Great early rock.

Greenville Texas bout 66 Sig party whoa hello Beaty damn party Mad Dog forever🍻💪👍🎵🏈

The best version of Hey Joe. Every garage band in 1966 tried it, but never sounded like this. I believe they had a Rickenbacker 12 string in there.

The Music Machine did a good one too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l165qn-uos56hsksi=KxKcnBgFjuyAon5Z. Also the Byrds, Love, Johnny Rivers, Deep Purple, Patti Smith, The Creation, Roy Buchanon, Seal, Nick Cave, Body Count, and a few others. Some stink, but there are a bunch of good ones.

Awful.

The start really sounds like The Byrds Feel A whole Lot Better

What the fuck…holy hell this kicks.

THEE FIRST heavy metal song-period.

Stop saying garage rock THIS IS WHAT TRUE PUNK ROCK SOUNDS LIKE!

this sounds punk even before the conception of "punk"

Just like my band did it in 1968 in my parent basement.

I love how no one mentions that this is a song about a guy who is going to murder his girl for cheating on him and then live in Mexico "where a man can be free". Ha! The song kicks butt, though.

By far the best version of Hey Joe. The Leaves knocked it out of the park

Another great LA band of the 1960s

Schleimkeim, Ata fit Spee.

i learned the bass parts and got to be a rocker

Never heard this before. Heard it listening to A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast.

Pretty obvious influence of The Monks here.

The best version of this song , I think. I think it's the original.pretty radical guitar for then.

Can’t get it on iTunes!!?

The best version

i was listen to the lee moses version also good

60s garage rock at its best

The punk version of Hey Joe

Completely different from Hendrix's cover. BOTH are great but if push comes to shove, I like this one a little better. It is rockin' & nasty. The vocal, guitars, & in particular the BASS, is fantastic! lol

Banned from Spotify ? The Leaves have others not this one

What did the tree say to the wind? 'Leaf me alone'

Pre-Punk Punk. Live from the garage.

You don't dig the Leaves you're outa your tree!

As good as Jimi's version Early Heavy Metal!

< < < THIS VERSION LEAVES A BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH > > >

Arthur Lee was influenced?

So Jimi's version was a cover of this "original"?

Thank you. Great memories.

I love Hendrix, but never really dug Hey Joe. This however is brilliant and the first time I've heard it. Far superior. Have no fear Jimi, your position is undiminished!

get rolling stones buzz to this

Intro sounds like The Byrds' 'I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better' to me.

Loved this version in the 60’s. I heard it today for the first time in many years.

One of the greatest recordings ever.
