If you dug the French Freakbeat series posted earlier on the Drunkard, then Johnny Hallyday's 1967 French cover of "Hey Joe" may be the coolest thing you'll download this month.
A real renaissance man, ole Hallyday, like fellow Frenchman Jacques Dutronc, fashioned himself both as an actor and as a songwriter/performer. No clue what his post sixties output was like, but this track is swingin'.
Big nod to Spoilt Victorian Child for their assistance . . .
