A soulful rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s Hey Joe I came across while watching YouTube vids the other night. Recommended.

Hmm, so that’s one I didn’t realize has been around a long time. Thought it was written by Hendrix.

My choice for favorite Jimi song. Spider saw this played LIVE at Woodstock! What an experience that must have been...

After Hooper posted above, I had to Wiki the song. Has an interesting background. Seems the version that we mostly are familiar with is a bit of a hodge podge of origins and influences, not fully attributable to any one individual.

Boy this thread brings back memories. My first memory of the song was also The Leaves version. I had a tiny reel to reel tape recorder and recorded it off the radio.
I'm partial to Randy California's take, not surprising since I am a big fan of Spirit. Otis Taylor is pretty good though.
