The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe - My Beat Club
A popular American song from the early sixties who became a rock standard and most famous as the first single of The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966. Often claimed to be a traditional song, the copyright of the song is registered to obscure American songwriter Billy Roberts. The inspiration for the Hendrix version is not really known. Either an acoustic version by American folk singer Tim Rose or the slow version of British beat band The Creation may be the main influence. Without fail, the version by Jimi Hendrix and his Experience remains the best known recording of the song.

B.B. King - Heartbreaker - My Beat Club
B.B. King & Lucille – a man and his guitar! B.B. King, born as Riley Ben King in 1925, is still one of the most influential blues guitarists of modern music – and also one of the most respected.

At the end of the 60s he also entered the pop charts with his songs (e.g. # 15 with “The Thrill Is Gone”). He always named his trademark Gibson Guitars “Lucille” after an incident in the mid 50s: King saved his beloved acoustic guitar from a fire at a concert hall in Twist, Arkansas. Later he heard that two men got into a fight about a girl called Lucille and accidentally set fire to the hall. So he decided to give the girls name to his guitar to remind him never to do such crazy things – like go back into a burning building or fight over a woman.
