(2911) CMA and ACM Award-winning country music legend Moe Bandy is celebrating the 45th anniversary of his Top 10 hit duet "Hey Joe, Hey Moe," recorded with Joe Stampley.

Originally released in 1981 as the lead and only single from their duet album 'Hey Joe (Hey Moe)' on Columbia Records, the song was a reimagined take on the folk standard "Hey Joe," with lyrics specially rewritten for the project by legendary songwriter Boudleaux Bryant. The release became a standout moment in both artists' careers and remains a fan-favorite collaboration more than four decades later.

"Joe Stampley and I have had a lot of fun recording throughout the years, and 'Hey Joe! Hey Moe' made its way to the Top 10," shares Bandy. "I have recorded a lot of albums in my career, but fans still ask for this single at every show. I am thankful for my friendship with Joe, and we still do shows occasionally throughout the country. Come on out and see us!"

Moe Bandy recently released his highly anticipated album, 'Songs I Missed,' in partnership with StarVista Music. Staying true to his traditional country roots, he delivered a heartfelt collection of classic hits, carefully selecting songs that he had once passed over earlier in his career, as well as others he had always wished he could record, giving fans a glimpse of the music he truly connected with and wanted to bring to life.

The album features iconic songs such as "Heartaches By The Number," "Six Days On The Road," "He Stopped Loving Her Today," "Amarillo By Morning," and "Pure Love," with Bandy's signature honky‑tonk sound paying tribute to country music's golden era. Tracks from the album were highlighted by Cowboys & Indians, Country Evolution, RFD-TV, and more.
