Terrible message... murder. But the vocal expression of Hendrix and the guitar work cause critics and listeners to listen to it. For the listener, the track came as an offering on the music service today. At the time, it was pre-dawn, and one awaited a bus on an avoided stretch of bus line in a genteel neighborhood. The plaintive and powerful message of Hendrix seemed like a beautiful contrast to the listener's jaded attitude at that time. There is no good time to hear a message of love gone wrong and murder. But that haunted setting and the dire song matched, in the listener's opinion. By Internet searches, experts rate Hendrix's vocal style and performance highly. It is also rated "A" for the guitar work. Hey Joe was a debut single for the band. And Hendrix said, to the effect, they enjoyed playing this song, so it was a natural choice for the single release.
