Viaene Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I was listening to an internet radio and I heard this magnificent version of the iconic song "Hey Joe". It lasted more then 10 minutes with great electric blues guitar solos. However I don't know who sang/played it, nor do I know whether it was a live version or not. It's not Jimi's version, it's definitely not the Leaves' version. Any leads? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Wow that song has been covered by many artist, according to Wiki....Did it sound like Nick Cave?...I see he has covered it also, but I don't think there's blues guitar solos in that version...

Farin Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Roy Buchanan maybe? that's not over 10min though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Deep Purple ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Roy Buchanan maybe? that's not over 10min though This comes very close! Same style, same feelings. Just less virtuoso. Maybe it's a different live version form him. It's not a band/guitarist I know. So Deep Purple, Nick Cave isn't the one I have in mind sorry.

Viaene Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Alvin Lee ? oooo that's a great one too! but not the one I'm looking for All those different versions, this song doesn't get boring ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 LOL...I'm having fun listening to all the different versions also...even if we haven't gotten it right yet! :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Julian Sas, Ripoff Raskolnivov, Tommy K Jr EDIT: Julian Sas is from the Netherlands, so if you heard him on a local radio this might get more plausible Edited May 2, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm willing to bet Bluesboy will know this without even thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'll try a couple more...they aren't over 10 minutes though... Spirit The Creation ... I'm really enjoying some of the other songs from this band...never heard of them before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Julian Sas, Ripoff Raskolnivov, Tommy K Jr EDIT: Julian Sas is from the Netherlands, so if you heard him on a local radio this might get more plausible Cool song, but I'm looking for a more raw, bluesy version. It was the blues radio on deezer.com. I searched the website but no playlists are found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_s_1987 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 There are so many versions of the song, it would take us years to get it. I can't think of any that haven't been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Eek! Good luck guys. Allmusic.com lists 736 different occurences of Hey Joe (not necessarily different artists, but different recordings). Look Here. Popular song. Viaene, a couple of questions. Can you describe the singers voice at all? Also, could you maybe contact the website via email and ask them?

Viaene Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure it was a black voice, bit like Jimi actually. I'm listening to the radio as much as I can. Internet radios mostly have their playlist on repeat. I'll post here if I find the one out of 736 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Maybe you could try listening to all the different renditions on deezer ... there aren't too many that are over 10:00 and most of them are by well-known bands, so you wouldn't have to listen to 150+ songs.

Viaene Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I listened to most long hey joe versions on that site. But the radios on that site also play tracks that don't show in the search forms, as I learned from experiments with other artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Guitar Shorty a live clip, but it's a black voice & a recording that is mentioned as a good cover. Popa Chubby (also live, but the time is close. A white guy, but the guitar playing and voice are very bluesy). There that's 2 more of 736. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
