Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Today a song that in my opinion was covered by a huge percentage of local bands in the mid 60's... and recorded by several big names as well from the Byrds to Hendrix to the Cryan Shames!  The Leaves were an American garage band formed in California in 1963. Their biggest hit was the song "Hey Joe", which was a hit in 1966. Theirs is the earliest release of this song. "Hey Joe" became a rock standard, and it's influence was strong enough that the song was included in a garage rock compilation called "Nuggets" in the 70's. The song is truly a great example of American rock of the British invasion era.
