Carl Smith was the former husband of June Carter, who later married Johnny Cash. Hey Joe got to #1 in the UK Singles Chart for Frankie Laine in October 1953, and was only the thirteenth song to do so. Carl Smith died on 16 January 2010, aged 82.

@@jennifursun3303 You ladies love Carl and I can understand why. He certainly caught June Carter's eye - watch those old Gannaway color films of the Opry Stars playing in Bradley's "Barn" around 1953-54. She is flirting with him heavy! They eventually married and had Carlene Carter as their daughter! He sure does have those blue eyes! A single neck "lap" steel, whether played with a strap or on legs standing up, was real flat , so I guess one thought you could make biscuits on it! lol Cousin Jody (check him out on those Gannaway films also) called his that and so maybe the term came from him. A pedal steel like Johnny Siebert's playing here is also called "an electric table"!

@@oldermusiclover Yes Ginny. His second wife was 50's country singer Goldie Hill, who I really like. There are clips of her singing on those Albert Gannaway color "Stars of the Grand Ol' Opry" films from 1953-54. She came from a musical family - he brother Tommy Hill was a good Nashville musician and esp a recording engineer. And, yes, Carl did drop out of the music biz to cut horses on his TN farm. I think him and Goldie were happy with that.

Carl was one of my favorite old timers, but all were distinct and I knew who was singing the song instantly, unlike todays bubble gum songs and singers.

Carl looks and sounds great here at only age 41. Daughter Carlene sure got a lot of his looks! Love him and Roy Acuff (both hailing from Maynardville, TN, as Roy points out) joking about steel man Johnny Sibert in relation to ol' Cousin Jody (Clell Summey), who did play the "lap" steel "bisquit board" and had no teeth - but when asked about the steel, Carl says that Johnny got it from Shot Jackson and note Johnny's look...nope, that's an Emmons he's playing not a Sho-Bud. I read the other comments - I think Carl's guitar is a modified Gibson - and, yes, a young Billy Linneman on the upright bass. Anyway, great job by Carl who had at least another 10 yrs in his career before retiring to his horse ranch with then wife Goldie Hill.

[@Teachering]

"I think Carl's guitar is a modified Gibson...". I am not a Gibson fan but am certain Gibson never created a monstrosity like the guitar played by Carl Smith in this video. I think Carl Smith is playing a Guild.

[@dannyc1174]

@@Teachering I don't believe it's a Guild...and it might not be a Gibson, either - could be custom built. It does have a Diamond Hatch or "Split Diamond" headstock inlay (or version thereof) and also the split parallelogram neck inlays like Les Pauls or other hi-end Gibsons. The truss rod cover doesn't really look like either make. Also different double pickguards. The closest look at the headstock is when Carl refers to his steel man, Johnny Siebert, as "the one who's coming in to sit down now". but if you pause the image at that point it's blurry. Of course Carl played a Frank Gay acoustic for years, which was real gaudy.

[@hariseldon3611]

Here’s a fun fact for the most curious among you. At minute 2:34 of the video, Carl Smith makes a sudden gesture to scratch his nose. This gesture was intentional and carries an intriguing story behind it, as Carl himself would explain years later. Carl Smith was an avid science enthusiast in his spare time, and during the 1960s, his fascination with time travel bordered on obsession. In 1967, a year before this video was recorded, Carl found a note on his desk that read, "Scratch your nose during 'Hey Joe.' - J.H." The note turned out to be a message Jimi Hendrix had sent to Carl from the future. When Hendrix watched Carl’s video on television and saw him scratching his nose, he knew the time had come. He wrote the note again and sent it back to the past, creating an endless time loop. From this loop emerged Jimi Hendrix's version of Hey Joe and, in turn, this iconic moment from Carl Smith’s video.

You gotta love this country version of a song that was made famous by Jimmie Hendrix. Cuddos to Carl Smith for picking it up.

[@davidgottlieb531]

Carl Smith's version of Hey Joe, this song ,was released in 1953 and was written by Boudleaux Bryant. Boudleaux and his wife Felice were very successful songwriters who wrote over 6000 songs with 200,000,000 records were sold of songs they wrote, yes 200,000,000! In 1965 a band from Los Angeles (The Leaves) recorded their version of Hey Joe which is completely different from the Smith version, it's a different song. Jimi Hendrix did not start playing The Leaves version of Hey Joe until 1966, there is no comparison between the Smith and the Hendrix version, they are different songs. Smith did not pick up this song from Hendrix.
