1960 Michael Holliday: Starry Eyed

Well here we are at the sixties, but there's no swinging to be done here. In fact, 'Starry Eyed' is an even further throwback to an earlier, pre rock and roll age then Holliday's own 1958 hit 'The Story Of My Life' was. "Why am I so starry eyed, starry eyed and mystified "? croons Michael in a groan more becoming of boredom than mystery. Luckily, his vocal rests on a bed of female "boom boom boom booms" that, although sounding like offcuts from The Chordettes' 'Mr Sandman', do manage to sprinkle a little stardust over the proceedings. Only a little mind, and certainly not enough to raise the interest bar any higher than 'mildly'.
