Honi Soit is the seventh solo studio album by Welsh musician John Cale, released in March 1981 by A&M Records. It was his first studio album in six years.

Content

All of the tracks on Honi Soit were written by John Cale, except for "Streets of Laredo", a traditional song arranged by Cale. The track "Need Your Loving" was left off the album in favour of "Riverbank".[1]

Andy Warhol suggested the album should be called John and Yoko,[2] and provided the cover art, in black and white, but against Warhol's wishes Cale colorized it,[2] an decision recounted by Cale on the song "A Dream" from his 1990 collaboration album with Lou Reed about Warhol, Songs for Drella. In a tongue-in-cheek allusion to the song "Fighter Pilot", the credits on the sleeve give each of the musicians a mock military aviation role, with Cale described as "flight surgeon". The album's title is an abbreviation of the phrase "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (French: "shame upon him who thinks evil of it"[3]), the motto of the British Order of the Garter.[4]

}}Honi Soit was released in March 1981 by A&M Records. The album is Cale's only album to date to chart in the US, reaching number 154.[7]Creem said, "Once again on Honi Soit – from the opening trumpet blast of "Dead Or Alive" to the final pounding of the drums on "Magic & Lies" – Cale evokes the epochal – this time as a series of battles, as a pure declaration of war. Like Lou Reed's Street Hassle, it's a work on which the artist finally reveals himself, concealing his tracks yet at the same time blowing his cover."[8]
