 The Byrds included a recording of the song, titled "Hey Joe (Where You Gonna Go)", on their 1966 album, "Fifth Dimension".The lead vocalist on the Byrds' version was David Crosby, who was instrumental in bringing the song to the group and in popularizing the song within the larger L.A. music community.Crosby had wanted to record the song almost since the band first formed in 1964 but the other members of the Byrds had been unenthusiastic about the song.
