Starry Eyed And Laughing were either 15 years ahead
of their time or 10 years too late.
Either way, in 1974 they were voted the Rickenbacker
twangers most likely to succeed. Even before they signed to CBS, one paper observed:
    ‘By the end of "74 the group will be set fair. They"ll emerge

The critic concerned echoed the hopes of most pop pundits. 
Starry Eyed were well-respected, loved even. 
They wrote their own songs - the sort you felt you"d known
all your life - and played as if they"d just emerged from the
grooves of The Byrds" Fifth Dimension. 
Named after the first line of the last verse of Dylan"s
Chimes Of Freedom, the quartet released a few singles and two exceptional albums:
