Texas 25 celebrates the very best of the multi-million selling (over 30 million album sales so far), multi-platinum, Ivor Novello Award winning band. Celebrating 25 years of Texas, Texas 25 contains four brand new songs and highlights from the band’s greatest hits completely re-recorded and re-worked for 2015 with acclaimed NYC soul outfit Truth & Soul (Amy Winehouse, Adele).
Recorded in the Queens studio of Truth & Soul and mixed at The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach’s Nashville studios, working on Texas 25 was a chance for Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri and band mate Johnny McElhone to hear ‘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.
For their 25th anniversary year, Texas have given themselves a metaphorical cut and blow, trimmed the loose ends and touched up the roots of their back catalogue. A selection of their toppermost, poppermost hits have been reconfigured from a unique and fresh new angle.
Deluxe 2CD pack, Disc One includes a selection of their greatest hits updated and re-recorded for 2015, plus Disc Two features of original recordings featuring all of the band’s best songs from throughout their career.
