 A Fan from Paris, France February 27, 2002

In the past four months the song "I Don't Want A Lover" has been playing on a radio station in Paris, France where I live. I did not know the band's name until I visited USA this month and was happy to find it with the help of a store in Montpelier VT. I am buying 2 copies to bring back with me to France. Sharleen's voice is beautiful and the music is soooo good! Hope my comments help someone learn about this album.
12 Years later, still my favorite CD September 22, 2000

It's the soulful Ry Cooder sound and the smart lyrics that make this disc ageless. I love this CD and I recommend it highly to you. It's my D.I.D.
I just purchased my third copy of this disc. I play it so often it just wears out.
Join us - the select few in North America who know this band is one of the best. You may not know them because their US record label couldn't promote a cure of the common cold, but buying this CD will enlist you as a select member of the secret Texas admiration society.
Three years and still the best October 4, 2000

Was introduced to Texas' Southside three years ago and have listened to it almost everyday. Sharleen sings very deep, low, and soulful; especially on "Say a Prayer" which happens to be my favorite song on the album. "...Prayer" has the spirituality and intensity of singing around a campfire without any of the fluff or nonsense. Every song on this album is well-written. The slide guitar that appears in a few of the tracks is haunting. This is by far the best album Texas has produced. It has an intensity that will endure the test of time. No one can mimick the raw power of Ms. Spiteri's voice!

Texas' debut is still their best album. The band never again matched the memorable hooks and melodies present in abundance on this album. I remember when I first heard "I Don't Want a Lover" on the radio, I thought it was the Eurythmics. This was their sound in the Revenge album era. Sharleen Spiteri has a strong singing voice (much more listenable than her speaking voice - yikes!) But it's on the strength of Spiteri and Johnny McElhone's songwriting and Ally McErlaine's guitar riffs that this album is so aurally pleasing. They followed the simple rock formula of guitar-bass-drums and were very successful at it.
At least six of the tracks here were released as singles around the world. Besides the first single "I Don't Want a Lover," there was "Thrill has Gone," "Tell Me Why" (excellent riff!), "Everyday Now," "Prayer for You" and "Fight the Feeling." Many of the songs are low-key, bluesy tracks that suit Spiteri's voice. Other highlights are the instrumental "Southside" and the bonus track "Faith," which I only heard for the first time when I bought the CD. It wasn't on the cassette.

Here I am, 11 years later ... my original CD recently got scratched ... and I'm replacing it. I still like the music as much as when I first heard it, start to finish.
