The Leaves

"Hey Joe" is an American popular song from the 1960s that has become a rock standard and as such has been performed in a multitude of musical styles by hundreds of different artists since it was first written.[2][3][4] "Hey Joe" tells the story of a man who is on the run and planning to head to Mexico after shooting his wife.[5] However, diverse credits and claims have led to confusion as to the song's true authorship and genesis.[4][5] The earliest known commercial recording of the song is the late-1965 single by the Los Angeles garage band, The Leaves; the band then re-recorded the track and released it in 1966 as a follow-up single which became a hit.[6] Currently, the best-known version is The Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1966 recording, their debut single.[7] The song title is sometimes given as "Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go?" or similar variations.
