Hey Joe is the debut album by the Los Angeles-based band The Leaves, recorded and released in 1966. It is best known for the title track, which the group initially recorded and released as a single in late 1965. Not satisfied with the sound, the group recorded a second version in early 1966. After Bobby Arlin replaced original guitarist Bill Rinehart, the group recorded and released a third version as a single in May 1966. This is the widely-recognized version of the song.
