@TrendyhendyPD is true jimi was playing it chas knew it and likde it and he was blown away by the technique hendrix used to play it thats the real story
what ever anyone says about the origins of hey joe the greatest version is the tim rose version, i was lucky enough to be stood in the wings many times when tim launched into hey joe and the late great john bonham thrashed the drums to even outshine ainsley dunbars efforts to accompany tims tremendous version of a great song.
Tim Rose once again lying about the song's origins. It is not an "Old Appalachian ballad" as he continuously claimed. Billy Roberts should have sued this thief for claiming copyright. He also falsely claimed songwriting credit for other songs as well.
This version is something I can learn to play at coffeehouses and open mics. Hendrix version is great too but you need a whole band to reproduce it, and you need to be able to play like Hendrix which few can. I love it when Tim Rose goes crazy at the end. RIP Tim Rose and Jimi Hendrix.
I watched a BBC program called Heir Hunters and they had to trace Tim's family and beneficiary's after he died. This was on the program and it instantly hit me, I love this version and although Tim is sadly no longer with us his music will still live on.
who are you people who think you know what you're talking about? I was a close friend of Tims and knew all those "other people" too. Tim was the real thing.
The original author of this song, folksinger Billy Roberts, was a friend of Tim Rose. It is alleged that Roberts and Scottish folksinger came up with this song while touring in 1956. However, Roberts clearly was the first copyright holder in 62. When Jake Holmes (wrote Dazed & Confused) joined Roses band, it was this version that supposedly inspired Hendrix's cover. The Leaves were possibly the 1st band with a rock version in 65, and Love did one shortly after, that might have influenced Hendrix
He reminds me of the late comedian Sam Kinison, both in the way he looks and his gravely voice. His version of the song tells a more detailed story then Jimi Hendrix's version. Hendrix's version was probably cleaned up to be more suitable for airplay.
@jleoblues I BELIEVE HIS TRUTH CLAIM TO BE RELEVANT, COHERENT, FACTUAL, AND OBJECTIVE... ALL TOGETHER BEING AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH CLAIM, BUT THEN AGAIN I COULD BE WRONG, BECAUSE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BRO, IM ONLY GOING OFF OF THE INTUITION THAT ROBERT PLANTS VERSION OF HEY JOE IS MUCH MORE LIKE THIS VERSION, HENCE BLUE STEEL 44, AND MELLOW. AND I WOULD HATE TO INSULT MY FAVORITE SINGER (ROBERT PLANTS) INTELLIGENCE...MUCH LOVE
Billy Roberts is still alive and I believe the Library of Congress testified at the hearing. This is not to disrespect Rose, who was a good performer.. I like the 60's version with the 12 string guitar In the Folk/Blues word stories like this are very common.
my friend leonardo born in s nicola da crissa says that the origin family of tim roses is from italy and exatly fro calabria someone can conform this ?
Jimi copied Billy Roberts' version almost to the letter. His guitar intro is exactly like Billy's. He even sings the line "I gave her the gun" from Billy's version. About the only thing he might have take from Tim's version is the backing vocals heard on Tim's studio recording.
Thats correct...however, Tim was responsible for changing and altering the song to what it later became and made it famous, saw Tim 3 times, what a man and some fantastic stories. RIP
this is the best acoustic version I think i have ever heard and i think every guitar player in the world has played this song at one time or another. the story is also very interesting too. thanks for this great video.
The way I heard it, Chas Chandler was taken to a club in NYC by Linda Keith and Hendrix and the (US) Blue Flames was performing. After Chas sat down, Jimi played it and Chas knew that a star was born.
I emailed Tim on his official site not long before he sadly died.He emailed me back and was polite, gracious and could teach the young popstars a thing or to.
What a voice this man had. The world has lost a hell of a performer. Such raw emotion in his voice, that tears your soul apart. Especially heard on his early records...
I had the great pleasure of seeing, and meeting, Tim in 2000 and his performance blew me away, as did when I met him - Blown away to be standing next to and talking to, the same man who has worked with the never-to-be-forgotten Cass Elliot!
Wow the12ismine, I think if anyone knew about Quote "sucking and wanting attention" it would be you. Now go back to your hendrix worshipping, and try to get a job, your mother wants you out of the house.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, that sucked! Big deal, he yells and grits his teeth and everyone says he has great emotion?! He's a drama queen for attention! Blues great my ass!
OMG what a tenaciuos performance. Reminds me somewhat of Meatloaf, you get the raw truth in every song. This performance was wasted on a young audiance who probably didn't even know the principles being discussed. They should have brought the house down when he was done and they oh sooo politely clapped.
I imagine some of Tim's anger is the fact that he first "recorded" the tune/lyrics and is lost in music history under the shadow of Jimi. But remember Tim, everyone is in Jimi's shadow.
Actually,Tim Rose claimed Hey Joe was a traditional tune so he could claim royalties after recording the song.He also falsely claimed co-writing credit for Bonnie Dobson's song Morning Dew,but has been discredited on both accounts.Wikipedia states: Hey Joe was registered for copyright in the US in 1962 by Billy Roberts.Roberts is the author. Country music producer Hill Resner has stated that a live recording of Roberts performing Hey Joe dates from 1960.Rose's version did inspire Hendrix though.
Despite studies of extensive archives of US folk and blues music in the Library of Congress,the Smithsonian Institution,and other bodies,no documentary evidence has been provided to support the claim by the late Tim Rose that "Hey Joe" is a wholly traditional work.Billy Roberts song gained many fans in the Los Angeles music scene,which led to cover recordings in 1965 and 1966 by The Leaves,The Surfaris,Love,The Byrds, & Tim Rose.
I love Jimis versions over the years and his vituoso on the guitar and the theatrics, he was the greatest blues musician of all time - but this was raw blues - this was Robert Johnson. Muddy,John Lee,Howlin' all rolled into one

Actually, as much as I like Tim Rose, his claim of this being an "Appalachian Folk Song" was never proven. The original song was copy written by a
West Coast Singer Billy Roberts. A lawsuit followed and the Library Congress intervened and stated there was no evidence of Rose's claim.
