Hey Joe Great bass line makes this song
Two Versions • Most people think of this as being originally done by Jimi Hendrix • First version was by the Leaves (a LA band – garage band with good vocals). • Many others recorded it. • The origin of the song is in question as it most likely started as a folk song and then the words were changed. The royalties are paid to Dino Venanti (former leader of the Quicksilver Messenger Service) but all accounts are that he didn’t actually write it but bought it from Billy Roberts.
