Among the initial L.A. folk-rock organizations to sprout within the wake from the Byrds within the middle-’60s, the Leaves are most kept in mind for recording the very first — and something of the very most effective — rock variations of “Hey Joe,” which reached the very best 40 (and was an enormous California strike) in 1966. non-e of the other releases contacted this achievement (although “WAY TOO MANY People” was an area hit), however the group documented a fair amount of solid covers and initial songs throughout their short existence. Even more explicitly Rocks and Beatles-influenced compared to the Byrds, they didn’t task as solid an identification as competitors just like the Byrds or Like, despite displaying substantial talent for tranquility rockers in both folk-rock and English Invasion designs. After trimming some singles and an recording for the small Mira label, they relocated to Capitol and disbanded following a unsatisfactory follow-up (All of the Great That’s Occurring, 1967) that provided less distinguished materials and a far more diluted audio. Leaves bassist Jim Pons continued to become listed on the Turtles for some time in the past due ’60s.
