Eyes of Blue was a British psychedelic rock band formed in 1966, known for their unique blend of rock, jazz, and soul music. The band, which included notable members such as Phil Ryan and John Weathers, both later associated with Man and Gentle Giant respectively, gained recognition after winning the 1966 Melody Maker Beat Contest. Their most influential work includes "Crossroads of Time," a progressive rock album released in 1968. Despite their relatively short lifespan as a band, Eyes of Blue's distinctive sound had a lasting impact on the British rock scene.
