Hey Joe is the self-titled 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 (Mira 207) in late 1965.

After Bobby Arlin replaced original guitarist Bill Rinehart, the group recorded and released a third version as a single (Mira 222) in May 1966.

The song gained further notoriety when the Jimi Hendrix Experience recorded it as their first single in the fall of 1966.
