Garage Discoveries # 8 The Leaves

 
LA garage band best known for their wonderful version of Hey Joe which was a  US Top Forty hit in 1966 and was later rediscovered on Lenny Kaye's essential early seventies Nuggets double album. Much of their other stuff comes across as weak Byrds and Love now. This is good though. Bo Diddley backbeat. Blatant hymn to the joys of drugs. It opened up their 1966 album, also called Hey Joe.
