I tend to believe that Billy Roberts wrote Hey Joe. I've heard Niela Miller's "Baby Don't Go Downtown " and though there are some aspects of it that are similar and possibly influenced and inspired her boyfriend Billy Roberts to write Hey Joe, her song is not Hey Joe! Also, if you listen to Billy's acoustic guitar version it seems that Hendrix took off on a lot of Billy's guitar licks!

I saw a documentary on the Vietnam War years ago and there was a scene of an American Soldier walking down a street in some city with his rifle and the song Hey Joe was playing over top of it. Hey Joe where you going with that gun in your hand? U.S. military guys are also referred to as Joe. Jimi was a veteran and would know that. It just put a different spin on the song for me.

favorite version of Hey Joe is by the Shadows of Knight.
itâs the faster paced version like that of The Byrds, Love, and The Leaves, etc.
thereâs a wonderful live recording of David Crosby and The Byrds performing hey Joe at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967.
David Crosby was actually instrumental in popularizing the song in the LA scene. He wanted to record it with The Byrds but they wouldnât let him for years. Crosby became quite upset when other bands like Love and The Leaves had hits with this song. Then The Byrds finally recorded it , but Crosby was regretful.
