Otis Taylor - Hey Joe

[@cryptobeliever5616]

A masterpiece. No more to say.

[@leeannenorris3881]

Right °°

[@peacefuleasy]

Always astounded me that Otis Taylor is not better known. This amazing talent should have a higher star.

[@Pulsonar]

That version of Hey Joe is sublime, the subtlety of expression is so expertly sung.

[@wd9102]

Wow! this version sounds phenomenal. That voice that guitars... Just simple and pure blues to the deepest level. Long live rock and roll.

[@gillstlaurent7538]

[@leeannenorris3881]

Im pickung up what your putting down. Real talk though ..

[@TheJhtlag]

Terrific synergy between the tune and the b&w photos. Bittersweet, makes your heart ache.

[@wavelength3278]

Takes me back to a spectacular, wonderful, adventurous, younger life growing up & travelling the world listening to awesome 60’s & 70’s music as it happened & being in the same era as these greats! We all get old but I am extremely very grateful to be growing old & having experienced live interactions with this lot! What an excellent montage of epic times.

[@abstract5249]

Did that really happen or are you a millennial/zoomer fantasizing about that?

[@robwilde855]

How fortunate we were, those of us young in the sixties and seventies... One of the sweetest and most honest times ever, perhaps.

[@headfucked01]

Oh man, that was heaven to my ears. Who on earth would give that a thumbs down..?

[@MsHelord]

This is indeed the best "Hey Joe" version that I heard since Jimy Hendrix! There are many very good versions, but this one tops them all...

[@wildbillharding]

It's Jimi!!

[@anthonystark2239]

Damn I miss real life and real people, Do you hear me, REAL People. Real Shit Is The Best. Can I get an AMEN and a HALLELUJAH.

Amen brother

[@olivermoseley8780]

With you on that brother, blown away.....

Sitting here in 2021 its like a post apocalyptic view back in time to when society was normal. Definitely shows us how far we've come. Talk about boiling frogs.

[@josiff1]

True that , Im 61 now and to be able to look back, epic

You got damn right even from here at 2022!!!

Amen Alex well said,one year later it has gotten worse. Pray for better days!🙏👍

[@KenHarrington32]

Love the guitar feeling and the rendition Otis has given this iconic song...…..Photos are FANTASTIC too.

[@anthonystark2239]

OH MY God, it's the 70's All over again. I fucking wuv it! Warm and fuzzy 😉

[@blurpybutt]

Great seldom seen pics, classic original song & all brings back such memories. Sad that most of them are all gone. My God, are we getting so old or what....?

[@snap403]

Love this version, so much soul! The pictures are great too!

[@gryphus64]

One of the greatest rock / blues guitar rally of all time! Fantastic, hard to be better! Great photos too!

[@dekaywill4572]

Ahhhhh the beautiful people.

[@hellboy8328]

A lot of these people are now gone so many talented people that left a huge mark on society.

[@michaelpatrickmoore8900]

I had the pleasure of playing drums for my good friend Billy Roberts, the gentleman that wrote Hey Joe. I always enjoy hearing different versions. This one is great!!!

[@MrGuitardog22]

do you still play?

[@onazram1]

Impressive..

[@buildyourowntone]

You were blessed, and made history with your good friend Billy Roberts. Yes, this version, just speaks to the listener, gets inside your head, with what the fellow is feeling. Love it!

[@robertgray7908]

When was that? Awesome song!

Thanks for the history hey Joe 67 years old first time ever hearing it was Jimi Hendrix time flies glad I’m able to see the stuff thank you

[@CharlesHenriBatjoens]

Toute une époque ou l'on croyait que tout était possible..!

[@willdenham]

The first song I heard from Hendrix, was blown away, nothing like it in the dismal 80's. Hearing this for the first time 25 years later and having another intense, next level, sublime experience. The photo montage is the icing.

[@jaymeseaston8117]

Sorry mate, the song was the icing. But this is the definitive version of Hey Joe, even/same/better than Jimi's renditions over the years. It's all in the chord sequence.... Fab Photo Montage & Music!!!

[@scottbaxendale323]

I love Otis Taylor! We used jam 20 years ago!

low down, thanks for your service...check out Tim Rose 1966. "zap pow" gotch again. peace brother

[@bondpit8750]

low down When did you graduate H.S., ‘71? I’m guessing based off your stated age of 65 one year ago. 65 and Class of ‘72 here, you must have been one unlucky SOB, because by the end of ‘70 US troops were drawn down to well under 300,000 in the process of Nixon’s Vietnamization plan. We pulled the last Marine combat troops out of country by the end of April ‘71 and by the end of the year 1971, we were down to less than 158,000 troops remaining in Vietnam. Not many going that way by ‘71 and later. Hooyah

[@joy4338]

Nothing is better than this song!!

[@Fabioman3]

The Nixon with Elvis was classic, but again they all were iconic with truly American icons. Everyone but that worm Manson!

[@Sorarse]

Great compilation of images. Quite a few that I didn't recognise, but a lot more that I did.

One of the best versions i've heard ! Otis is very good indeed!

[@terrylynne8208]

James close to ya brother,these young ones haven’t a clue the America we grew up in. We didn’t live Rock Star lives but we did get to hear the music never to be repeated. I spoke to a 25ish Black girl that works at a Racetrack Station one morning the songs they piped in off satellite are great,I asked her how she like Motown music?. She said she never heard of it!. I said girl you gotta be Kidding!,that song just played was by The Four Tops!. TO which she said Who’re they? I said you need to find your heritage gal.

[@d.michaelpratt5987]

Just an outstandingly great video! One of the all-time-best rock songs, and the pictures are to die for! Wonderful work and made an old guy feel good!

[@alanmeires]

That’s great 😃

[@slimunique84]

When I was growing up these people looked so old, now I'm old they look so young in these photos, makes you realise you don't get to hang around long and best to enjoy each day to the full.

[@nickcoudounellis2020]

Looking at all these photos I felt like I was back in time. Watching this video has made me realise how short life really is. We are here one minute and before you know it, we will be gone.

[@jurgweber107]

I detected this version just right now ... and it makes me crying, I know about 6 or 7 versions from Otis with Anne Harris for many years ... most of them outstanding. But this one goes even beyond. Best rendition of this iconic Billy Roberts song (NOT Hendrix)

[@eazystreet5507]

One thing about getting old is I live through amazing times.

I used to think the Hendrix version was the best. Then I heard this, The guitars are fat, and thin, and full-on gorgeous. And a kind of quiet drama that ebbs and flows with the guitar fills. Stunning
