Honest Injun is the sole studio album by Irish rock band Granny's Intentions, released in March 1970 on the Deram label. The album blends blues rock with folk and psychedelic influences, representing a transitional sound between the late 1960s beat scene and the emerging 1970s rock era. Although considered slightly disappointing upon release and out of step with prevailing musical trends, it has since gained recognition as a cult classic, particularly due to the early appearance of legendary guitarist Gary Moore.
