The British
Invasion wasn't all Beatles, Stones and Who. Many of the Limey horde were wussy fopps
prone to preening and crooning. Freddie & The Dreamers, Herman's Hermits, and Chad & Jeremy didn't
want to rock the house; they were content to, well, sway the manor. Chad and Jeremy
were a wispy, folk-rock duo that had considerable chart success with gentle ditties
like "Willow Weep For Me" and "A Summer Song." Fans will surely
dig Varese's Very Best Of Chad & Jeremy, the first really good collection
in the States. Anglophiles will want to additionally purchase the reissued Of
Cabbages And Kings (Sony/Legacy), the duo's post-Sgt. Pepper attempt at relevance.
