This was a sensational album when it hit the streets back in 1966 ... yet unlike The Byrds, The Stones, or even Bob Dylan, The Leaves seemed to have bounced out of nowhere, taking full advantage of the times and the counter culture. Yet even as fine as this release was, there was something different about it, like it wasn’t pure, as if it were a business adventure, reminding one of The Strawberry Alarm Clock, solid music, but just lacking that something that was needed to carry them forward.
Never the less, they nailed some great tunes like “Tobacco Road” and unexpectedly “He Was A Friend Of Mine.” They certainly gave much more than nods to their influences, Dylan, The Beatles, Bo Diddley, and of course The Rolling Stones. And what keeps The Leaves alive in the hearts and minds of so many, was there take on the song “Hey Joe,” a searing gritty garage rocker which they held off till the middle of the album ...
This release was nearly a perfect example of folk-garage & punk rock. Great fuzz guitar led album, opens with with the fast paced 'Dr Stone' (a tip of the hat to Lennon/Mccartneys "Dr Robert"??!?... perhaps......only double time and with screaming harmonica!) and keeps its edge throughout. "Too many people" is a garage rant against social formalities... "wear a suit and tie, when i'd rather sit and die." fantastic. Of course "Hey Joe" is probably what this album is to be most remembered for but others agree that the Leaves originals are just as iconic and innovative. Great 66' sounds....
