Sky Sunlight Saxon & The Stars New Seeds Band "Starry Ride" 1980

Raw, burnout rock by the mirror-cracked Mick & Keith of the 70's - former Seeds frontman, Sky "Sunlight" Saxon and future Juicy Groove wastoid, Michael "Rainbow Starburst" Neal (aka Rainbow Red Oxidizer)...
...I'd guess this dates around '75-'76 as Sunlight does plenty of testifying to Yahowa, God and Father. Musically, it's hard rock 'n' roll (closer to Detroit Total Energy than Brit Heavy Blues) with a hypnotic, psychedelic throb to it and lots of hippy lyrics about animals and the environment.
Both "Starry Ride" and "Drums, Stars & Guitars" would appear on Rainbow Neal's Juicy Groove album and, for the most part, this is the same band - Mars Bonfire (keys - Steppenwolf), Elliot "Winged Eel Fingerling" Ingber (lead guitar - Captain Beefheart - here erroneously credited as Elliot 'Englebar'), Ron Bushy (drums - Iron Butterfly) - and whomever else showed up. The performance here is a bit less crazed - y'know, it's still pretty whacka-do but, that should just tell you something about Rainbow Neal!
I dunno. It ain't gonna be everybody's cuppa but, if you like your rock music weird, drug addled, non-commercial and rockin' - this is friggin' key. Extra half star for the telephone ringing mistakenly captured on the vocal mic in the title track. - MarsHottentot
