Recorded in Truth & Soul's Queens, NY studio and mixed at the Black Key's Dan Auerbach's Nashville studios, working 'Texas 25' was a chance for TEXAS front woman Sharleen Spiteri and band mate Johnny McElhone to hear fan favorites such as Black Eyed Boy, Halo, I Don't Want a Lover, Say What You Want, Summer Son, the Conversation with new ears. 'It's almost like we've got who we are, 25 years later,' says Sharleen. Known for their Americana-tinged blue-eyed soul, Texas have endured over the years despite changing trends, with songwriting and performances that hearken back to the heyday of Motown and Muscle Shoals. With 30 million album sales to their credit, and with word spreading on the internet about these brand new versions of classic hits, there is already considerable buzz within the band highly engaged and loyal global fan base.
