I don't know what made me think of this oldie from the 60s but here's Hey Joe by 3 different bands.
If you know Hey Joe at all you probably know the version by guitar hero Jimi Hendrix. He recorded his version of this song in late 1966. Apparently this song was written several tears earlier and could be some sort of combination of 3 even earlier songs. Read the Wikipedia page on Hey Joe for more on that.
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi had put together his 3 man band The Jimi Hendrix Experience and they were recording their first album. Hey Joe was on it. This heavy rock / blues version of the song hit number 6 in the UK but didn't chart in the US. Later it got lots of airplay on FM Rock stations and is played on Classic Rock stations to this day.
The Leaves
Earlier in 1966 an LA rock band called The Leaves recorded a fast noisy Garage Rock version of Hey Joe. This was their third recording of the same song, the first being in 1965. This version hit number 31 in the US and went on to become a Garage Rock classic.
Violet Wing
Then in 1968 Violet Wing did a trippy psychedelic longer version of Hey Joe that almost no one knows about. It features a Theremin which was mainly used prior for creepy sound effects in horror movies. There's an organ and fuzzy guitar in there too. Check out this slow sludge heavy weird version of Hey Joe.
MY ACTIVITY
was a bike ride followed by some weightlifting and 24 pushups. I also walked around the food store. I must have been moving around after that because I got into the #10kstepsaday club again!
Have a great Friday!
