"Hey Joe" #31 7/9/1966

Our song today has floated around in one form or another since at least the 1930's. Jimi Hendrix had the definitive, albeit slower version. The Byrds did it in concert in their early days but never put it to vinyl. The Leaves, a one-hit wonder from the San Fernando Valley in the L.A. 'burbs, appear to be the first to actually record this. It showed up on the "Nuggets" compilation LP of obscurities in the 70's.
