Sharleen Spiteri - Texas Appreciation Thread!

[Davey84]

There wasn't a thread already for the best band fron Schotland TEXAS and the lead vocalist Sharleen Spireti!! So here it is!!! I have all the albums of Texas. I think they didn't got the credit anymore they deserved with their last 2 studio albums. they weren't big commercial hits, but very good IMO!

 

My absolute favs songs are:

 

I want to go to heaven

So Called Friend

Halo

Inner Smile

Careful What You Wish For

Say What You Want

Just Hold On

Summer Sun

Prayer for you

I'm So In Love With You

 

and

 

Put Your Arms Around Me I could play this song days on end!!!

 

The other reason why I made this thread is that Sharleen made her first solo album and it has this brilliant 60ies feel to it! After an ugly divorce she finally felt it was time to record a solo album

You Let Me Down

Where Did It Go Wrong

Day Tripping

I also like So Called Friend, and there was a duet called Sleep that I also love. I might look into the other songs later

I am partial to the odd Texas session! Black Eyed Boy and Summer Son are EPIC tunes!

 

Have you seen this? It's hilarious! Sharleen talks about a fight she had with Paris Hilton!

 

WARNING: Strong Language!

 

[CelineRules!]

Oh I love love TEXAS

 

My absolute favourites are 'In Demand' and 'Guitar Song' and off course 'When we are together'

 

I adore the mood she puts in every song. Definately going to buy the solo album
