Despite occasional misattribution, "Hey Joe" was NOT written by Chet Powers
aka Dino Valenti, nor did he ever claim to have written it. The official
writer of record is Billy Roberts, although there is a story that it was
actually written by a girl Roberts knew who OD'd.

Then there's "Hey Joe". Not the Boudleaux Bryant tune,
but the one written by Chet Powers, aka Dino Valenti,
who is also the author of the hippie anthem "Get Together".
There's a pretty twangy - and oddball - version of that on Jerry Douglas'
Slide Rule (Sugar Hill), with Jerry, Artie McGlynn
Thanks to everybody who responded. My head's a little clearer today, I came up
with a couple more. Based on what's available in our library, for those
interested, here's the list I've come up with:
BR-549 - Knoxville Girl
Honky Tonk Confidential - Fourty-Four
Steve Earle - Taneytown (? Gotta
Over You - Aaron Neville
Cocaine - Johnny Cash (I don't remember the name of this song, but it's the one about
taking a line of cocaine, shooting my baby down, etc.)
My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama - Frank Zappa
Pardon Me (I've Got Someone To Kill) - Johnny Paycheck
Delia - Johnny Cash
Jeff Wall

Did we get "Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)"
yet?
