Estimated Rating:

Familiar with this artist? I've heard two albums
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? Not as such
Average RYM Score: 3.22
Well, the last Texas album I heard was 1999's Hush and honestly, I feel like I've just picked up where I stopped. They've had four more albums since then, not including this, and they may as well never have been away. Right from the off that sultry, seductive voice is back in control, and it's just great song after great song. Hard to pick out a standout as they're all really really good so far. Maybe “Can't Control”, but it's a hard call. Actually “Tell That Girl” (chosen as a single, and with good reason) is a contender too, then the smoky blues of “Sending a Message” might just about floor you, steam rising from the microphone.

And the quality just keeps strong with “Great Romances”, followed by “Won't Let You Down”, and then “Midnight” and ... hell, total excellence right up to the last beat. Not a bad thing to say about this album. Can't recommend it highly enough, which of course means you'll all ignore it. But that's your loss.

Check out more from this artist? Oh yes
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes
