Most Americans do not know who Texas is and that's a real shame because they are superstars throughout much of the world and their unique sound is simply beautiful. I stumbled upon Sharleen Spiteri and the guys from Texas back in the summer of 1989 and have been hooked ever since. For a bunch of white guys and one amazing female vocalist from Scotland, they have a blue-eyed soul sensibility unheard in most pop outfits. Eight albums and two greatest hits into a twenty-year career, this double CD presents the band's rare BBC performances. Simply wonderful!
There is always a good possibility that music recorded live in a radio or tv studio will lack the inspiration of a live audience and the quality of sound from a recording studio.
These discs have the quality of "live in the recording studio" and represent a solid, if not electrying, performances.
I don't know why this set was not release in America, but even casual fans of Sharlene should get this set if it becomes available for a decent price.
