I always thought Shannon was a woefully underrated front-man... there was a child like sort of quality to him... a free spirit kind of thing.

"Hey Joe" is an American song from the 1960s that has become a rock standard and has been performed in many musical styles by hundreds of different artists.[2] The lyrics tell of a man who is on the run and planning to head to Mexico after shooting his unfaithful wife.[3] In 1962, Billy Roberts registered "Hey Joe" for copyright in the United States.[4] However, diverse credits and claims have led to confusion about the song's authorship.[3][self-published source]
In late 1965, Los Angeles garage band the Leaves recorded the earliest known commercial version of "Hey Joe", which was released as a single. They re-recorded the song and released it in 1966 as a follow-up single, which became a hit in the US.[5] In October 1966, Jimi Hendrix recorded "Hey Joe" for his first single with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.[6] Their version became a hit in the UK.

I didn't know that Time is on My Side and Handle With Care were covers. File this under the 'I learn something new every day' file.
