I'd never heard of Starry Eyed and Laughing until 2 weeks ago. In my email archive, found 2 mentions here & 1 elsewhere. So apparently criminally unknown in general. Wikipedia sez:
-----
"Starry Eyed and Laughingwere a British Rockband of the 1970s. Formed in 1973, they released two albums on CBS, recorded three Peel Sessionsand undertook a US tour, before briefly evolving into Starry Eyed, and finally disbanding in 1976."
-----
Mostly they had a serious Byrds jones, well beyond jangly. Much is too McGuinn-ish for me, but heard a collection recorded before their 1st lp and found the song "Givin' You the Blues" has that David Crosby folk-psych sound that gives me the shivers.
Info on the early recordings - Forever Young: http://www.starryeyedandlaughing.com/Starry_Rec_ForeverYoung.htm
I couldn't find the song streamable, tho #internetz.././preseto change-o//...voila!
