Follow Me... is the debut album by Crispian St. Peters and was released in 1966.

The album featured four singles: "You Were on My Mind", which reached number 2 in the UK and number 36 on the American Billboard Hot 100,[1] "The Pied Piper", which reached number 4 in the UK and number 5 in the US,[2] "But She's Untrue", whose B-side, "Your Ever Changin' Mind", reached number 106 in the US,[3] and "So Long", which did not chart.[4] The song "You Were on My Mind" was originally recorded and released in 1964 by Ian & Sylvia, and was a major hit in the US when covered by the group We Five in 1965.

Reception

Bruce Eder of Allmusic has characterized the album as "strangely inconsistent, crossing between upbeat folk-rock and brooding ballads", also noting the inconsistencies in St. Peters' vocal delivery.[5]
