THE LEAVES

ROBERT LEE REINER, TOM 'AMBROSE' RAY, JIM PONS, BOBBY ARLIN, JOHN BECK


One of the first L.A. folk-rock groups to spring up in the wake of the Byrds in the mid-'60s, 

the Leaves are most remembered for recording the first -- and one of the most successful -- rock versions of "Hey Joe," 

which reached the Top 40 (and was a huge California hit) in 1966. 

None of their other releases approached this success (although "Too Many People" was a local hit), 

but the group recorded a fair number of strong covers and original songs during their brief existence. 

More explicitly Stones and Beatles-influenced than the Byrds, they didn't project as strong an identity 

as competitors like the Byrds or Love, despite displaying considerable talent 

for harmony rockers in both the folk-rock and British Invasion styles

RECORD  EX (please, read above description)

SLEEVE EX (please, see pictures and read above description)

This is one hell of a debut album, especially for a group 

that only lasted for about a year after its release. 

The Leaves perform some superb folk-rock in a Byrds/Beatles vein 

("Just a Moment," "Girl From the East"), excellent lyrical garage punk ("Words," "Tobacco Road"), 

and solid hard rock ("Hey Joe," "Too Many People"), and cross swords with the Rolling Stones 

("You Better Move On," "Back On the Avenue" -- the latter 

a ripoff of the Stones' "2120 South Michigan Avenue")...(AllMusic)
