ROCKOLLECTIONS: ‘ERMAN’S ‘ERMITS PT.1
from WLSO.FM June 18, 2008
The featured artists for the next couple of Pods are Herman s Hermits, one of the early British Invasion bands that swept this country. They were considered part of the Merseybeat Sound despite being from Manchester and not Liverpool. These 2 parts are dedicated to a great friend of mine, Denise. And you will hear me debating with myself just how important a group they were. Didn t want to tick Denise off, lol! Ironically, the more serious songs they did were relegated to B-sides. But there is no denying the FUN factor of their music. The first 2 songs I will play were huge here, yet oddly not even released as singles in Britain. While I may be a little obscure with my selections in this Part One, by the time we get through the next episode, I should definitely have awakened many memory cells! In fact, there is one here from 1965 that even I had forgotten- and listen for the Buddy Holly hiccup in it. Although many critics dismissed them, they had players like Led Zeppelin s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones play on their sessions. So what if they weren t the Beatles, Stones or Dylan. Like I say, they were, and are, a FUN listen. Enjoy! Mike
