Description

Guitarist/composer/producer Dave Stewart put together a new band called The Spiritual Cowboys after the dissolution of Eurythmics. Stewart is a very talented artist and this CD, originally released in 1990, is a joy to listen to. More guitar-heavy than much of Eurythmics‘ music, Stewart and cast create a blend of blue-eyed soul and glam on tracks like “Soul Years”, “Mr. Reed” and “Jack Talking”. There is also a trio of ballads in the hushed “This Little Town”, the gospel-tinged “Love Shines”, and “Heaven and Earth”. Stewart‘s voice has a Bowie-like quality to it (with a touch of menace) that suits the songs really well. Dave Stewart and the Spiritual Cowboys is a lost gem of an album and something most Eurythmics fans will want to hear.
