Dave Stewart

Sly Fi
$34.49
Dave Stewart begins his album
"SlyFi" with the single and the best
song "Happy to be here" which
contains a good sound and nice lyrics.
The following songs are "My place",
"Leaving this earth" (nice), "Picadilly picnic",
"Stars on Sunday", "Even the bad times were
good times", "Good for nothing", "Royal infirmary",
"owol" and "Jack of all trades". The album is
relaxed, spacy, synthi- pop and is the ideal
atmosphere for dreaming.

Dave Stewart & Spiritual Cowboys
$17.49

Dave, one half of Eurythmics, has been making rock history since the early 70s. This remarkably versatile 1991 offering kept the flag flying - it is replete with all the elements that made Eurythmics so special: Strange visionary lyrics, brilliant hooks and subtle, understated production. He's quite a chameleon -- on Soul Years he outbowies David, on King Of The Hypocrites (a complex piece with disturbing undertones) -- he outdylans Bob and on Love Shines he outmccartneys Paul. Jack Talking is a smooth funky ditty evocative of the Bee Gees, This Little Town is a Kinks-like number with folksy harmonica, On Fire has a lush, guitar-driven wall of sound, while Fashion Bomb boasts a mixture of dance style rhythms with glam-rock overtones and Party Town reminds one of the underrated Tourists, particularly in the juxtaposition of lugubrious lyrics with the orchestral fullness of the backing. A delightful listen.

Greetings from the Gutter
$11.98
This is a super album and definately the high-point of former Eurythmics guitar player Dave Stewart's solo career. The songs are great and the guitar work even better. The album features guest backing performances from Bootsy Collins, Micky Jagger, Laurie Anderson, Dave Sandborn and Deelight frontwoman, Lady Miss Kier. If you liked the Eurythmics, then I think this album is for you!

Honest
$14.49
I remember seeing the video for "Crown Of Madness" in 1991 and anticipating Dave Stewart's new release, but it never came. The truth was that "Honest" was never released in America. Thanks to Amazon for carrying imports. I just bought this cd and must say that it is good, but probably not as good as the previous, 1990 release, "Dave Stewart And The Spiritual Cowboys". "Honest" follows the same musical vein as the former release but to lesser effect. There are still some great songs on "Honest", but I can see why Dave broke up the Spiritual Cowboys after this release and why the record company may have passed on releasing it in America. Dave Stewart doesn't make bad music and "Honest" can attest to this with songs like "Honest", "Whole Wide World", "Crown Of Madness" and "Fool's Paradise". If you are a fan of Dave or Eurythmics you can't miss with this second solo release. This cd was followed by 1994's "Greeting From The Gutter" and 1998's "Slyfi".
