Released in 1991, “Honest” is the second and final album by Dave Stewart and the Spiritual Cowboys, a band formed during Annie Lennox’s hiatus from music. The album showcases Dave Stewart’s flair for theatrical pop-rock, blending surreal lyricism with eclectic arrangements that nod to ’60s psychedelia and early Dylan. Tracks like “Crown of Madness,” “Out of Reach,” and “Motorcycle Mystics” weave vivid narratives with moody instrumentation, while “R.U. Satisfied” closes the album with gospel-tinged grandeur. The lineup features Martin Chambers on drums, Nan Vernon on guitar and vocals, and guest appearances from Shankar and Ruby Zimmermoon, adding texture and mystique. “Honest” is a kaleidoscope of characters, moods, and sonic experiments—playful, poetic, and unapologetically offbeat.
