That was my dad's band. My dad had the first rock club in Houston. I was 11 years old.

I typed in Hey Joe and this is the song I found. I love Jimi Hendrix but this cover is absolutely the best version ever!!! I am a fan now of Fever Tree they are so psychedelic and I am such a left over hippie. Thanks Fever Tree you guys are the best!!! Rock on!!!

San Francisco Girls is one of their greats.

Holy CRAP!!! I have been searching for this cover for over 30 years! My dad recorded it onto a mix tape in the early 70s and this was lost to time. Having listened to probably 200 versions since then, it's still the best I've ever heard.

these guys are great. their song 'san francisco girls' is one of the best songs of the 60's although it doesn't get the recognition.

This kind of stuff is what makes KZread the greatest website on the internet. I remember a few years back being sad about all of the old great music that I'd probably never hear again. Bands like Fevertree, Marmalde and others that most people have never heard of. When I discovered that it was all here on KZread it was like getting back together with an old lover who hadn't aged a day.

Well said. KZread gives a second life to those bands who had their brief flutter on the FM dial but never quite ascended to the pantheon. Think Spooky Tooth, Hookfoot and Captain Beyond.

I met Michael just before he died in a car accident. Very humble guy. My restaurant partner and I just told him that he was in one of the best sixties bands of the psychedelic era. What incredible harmonies in this tune.

Thanks man takes me back to them awesome years! I’m A young 71 hippy chick bless u ❤️☮️🇺🇸

Possibly the best version of this song ever.

that's what I was thinking. I have so many versions but this is best. I did however edit it a bit

Dennis Keller's vocals really take me back to when I bought my first Fever Tree album in '68 and the organ puts me in a psychedelic mood again!

Billy Roberts was my boyfriend for long enough to learn my song, Baby Please Don't Go to Town and morph it into Hey Joe, unbeknownst to me but others recognized the derivation (such as Pete Seeger)/ I wrote the song in the late 50's but unfortunately, didn't copyright it until 1962. You can find out more about this on a few websites such as wikipedia and one devoted to Hey Joe. To hear the original and other songs of mine, go to The Numero Group and look for Songs of Leaving. This is an interesting version of many.

I like this version very much. I remember an AM station in Pittsburgh in the early seventies would play some Fever Tree songs. I was just a young teenager trying to learn to play guitar at the time so I listened to all the rock bands.

Wow! This brings back memories of my teens. Loved Fever Tree and this wonderful version of Hey Joe.

Ugggh, i had ALL of their original vinyl from my older brother and over the years its been lost. Such fond memories hearing these sounds coming from his bedroom and on his car tape deck. Try and find it now 😕 THIS is what KZread was made for!

I had never heard this version before, it's really great. The only Fever Tree I was familiar with was their album with San Girls on it. Back in the 60's, early 70's I usually had some of the more obscure LP's but missed this one. Thanks for posting.

To all those people that think this version is better than the Hendrix version....are you crazy? By the way, Billy Roberts wrote and recorded the song in 1962, as Niela said. But no matter who wrote or sang it, Jimmy OWNED it, just as he did w/ Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. When Hendrix sings this song (not to mention his guitar), it's primal, and from the depths of his soul.

Haven't heard this since some real asswipes stole my Fever Tree- For Sale 8-track back in 1973, Have looked for it online here and there over the years. Today, more than just an ordinary surprise. More like Costner and the gang finding the Dom in "Fandango". Whoever posted, thanks! many times over.

Great version from a great band!

I used to always listen to this song in year 10. I have a big appreciation for this song and all progressive/ cover songs. I love this song and band for making this. It was my life

Wunderschöne version. Danke

die beste version die ich je gehört habe.das will ich zu meiner beerdigung gespielt haben.

Was für eine tolle Version - zigmal gehört vor vielen Jahren in der Lastruper "Scala". Waren tolle Zeiten!!!

Hands down best version of hey Joe, It combines the soulful, bluesy Hendrix version with the faster paced, more angsty original version of the leaves, just beautiful

Just discovered Fever Tree even tho I'm a big 60's rock fan... This Hey Joe is absolutely AMAZING. By 1968 Jimi Hendrix starts including Fever Tree's Hey Joe riff in his version live. I always loved that riff and find it so cool to hear it here.

Arthur Lee's band LOVE did a cover of this song on their first LP but Lee didn't write it - Billy Roberts did. Lee may have claimed he did though. The Leaves were the first group to do it commercially. Anyway , I'd never heard this version thanks.

Man,, I really like this version. Slow and easy then wham....

One can't really go wrong with this great song. My personal favorites though are all three versions by the Leaves.

I'm back. Recording this on a new laptop, very first recording. 8 years ago I was more than glad to find this song here on youtube, and i'm glad it's still here. Now to get the download to go into a new folder. lol

The first recorded version is by The Leaves. Not The Byrds, not Love, Not Jimi Hendrix, Not The Music Machine, There are stories, that when Jimi hendrix first went to England, he heard The Creation do their version (slow) live, and that's where he got the inspiration to do a slower version. The Creation didn't record their's until 1968.

Sorry, but the first recorded version was not by The Leaves, but by Billy Roberts. And some believe he stole the chord progression from another song by Niela Miller called "Baby Please Don't Go to Town". You can find both of these songs on You Tube.

*Som dos Deus música psicodélica é d+*

Translation to English: The American band "Fever Tree" founded in the 1960s with their version of "Hey Joe". The original folk song gained worldwide fame primarily through the interpretation of Jimi Hendrix.

@6motion6 If you would come over to slovenia, than yes ;)

This is not the "best" version of Hey Joe, but it is very good. For a version that is more faithful to the intent of the song you should listen to Tim Rose singing it.

@666ecl Are you talking about the 13th Floor Elevators? I love them. Wish I could be eating LSD now and attend a Fever Tree and Johnny Winter show. Just gets hard to find LSD when you're 60.

If anyone has the lyrics to this version, I'd really appreciate it if you could share them with with me. Thanks!
