@Elmoustacheo Billy Roberts wrote the song in the 1950's. I don't think Dylan ever performed it. Of course Hendrix made it famous and then Krazits... well the poor boy needs throat lozenges and maybe an enima before he attempts to sing this song again...
Eleven people have no sense of genius musical talent at its very finest. I like this version better than the Hendrix version. First does not mean best. Hendrix would've been equally in awe of Kravitz as Lenny is of him to this day. No doubt.
@xchump don't need a trained ear for music it's all about what your into and what your not, that was just a fools statement, there has been so many people that have covered hendrix gary moore did about the best cover of jimi's red house
Jimi Hendrix did not write Hey Joe, in fact it's just an American traditional song, with vague authorship (Billy Roberts owns the copyright) . Jimi just made this song popular
@Megadeth6633 excactly: it's a TRIBUTE and a damn good one! Love live lenny k and jimmy h the same in this very version - both REALLY give it their best!
@chechinoful For me it's more like... summoning Lenny Kravitz... to the concert ;) it's a lot diffirent than Jimi's original version, 'cause this is Lenny's style, more influenced with modern funk, classic blues, not so focused on main guitar - Lenny gives more attention to bass and drums
Thats when Lenny was still a rock & roll star.

it's funny many people still don't get it, that it's Jeff Healey doin' guitar
it's quite obvious though, so the whole title is wrong, very misleading
