THERE’S A KIND OF HUSH
(All Over The World)
Music and Lyrics by Les Reed and Geoff
Stephens
Originally a hit for Herman’s Hermits in
early 1967, and one of Karen’s and my favorite songs from the ’60s. In
hindsight, however, even though our version was a hit, I wish we’d never
recorded it. Here are three reasons why: (1) The original was, and is,
perfectly fine. (2) Our foray into the oldies should have ended with the
medley featured on side 2 of Now & Then, 1973. (3) The use of a
synthesizer in some of our recordings has not worn well with me, on this track,
or just about any other track on which I used it.
