The Jimi Hendrix Experience - 'Are you experienced' (1967) - Mira Records
Descripción:
Hey Joe esta incluida en el disco debut del grupo de rock psicodélico mas importante de la historia, The Jimi Hendrix Experience 'Are you experienced?', publicado en 1967, con la formación que se mantuvo durante los 4 años de existencia del grupo: Jimi Hendrix (Voz y guitarra), Noel Redding (Bajo y coros) y Mitch Mitchell (Batería). El grupo existió durante un período tan breve de tiempo debido a la muerte prematura de su líder, Hendrix en 1970, en extrañas circunstancias.
El grupo solo pudo publicar 3 discos, pero sirvieron para convertirles en una de las formaciones mas importantes y originales de la historia del rock ('Are you experienced?' es considerado el 15º mejor album de todos los tiempos segun Rolling Stone), con canciones como la hoy analizada, Purple Haze o All Along The Watchtower
Aclararemos que la canción original no es del grupo de Seattle, sino que fue compuesta por el cantante de musica folk Billy Roberts, pero fue con la versión del grupo de Hendrix cuando la canción se hizo popular
La letra trata sobre un hombre que despues de matar a su mujer planea escapar a Méjico. Se hizo tan popular que es ya considerada una canción tradicional americana, y entre las mas de 70 versiones de esta cancion, aparte de la de Hendrix, destacan las de The Leaves, Duane Allman o Cher, entre otros

You shot her down to the ground

You know, I caught my old lady messin' around town
And I gave her the gun
