Texas gave themselves a tough task in trying to live up to their previous album, White On Blonde, but The Hush is certainly an album they can be proud of.
There are a number of excellent tracks, most notably “Summer Son”. Singles “When We Are Together” and “Once In A Lifetime” also feature, although once again it is some of the less heralded tracks which shine through, most notably “Day After Day”.
The tracks are excellent, again showing a diversity many groups do not have. It is not just the music which is versatile, as Sharleen Spiteri’s voice is the perfect foil on all the tracks. It can be either punchy or mellow, although I dare say that her part in the songwriting process helps this along.
An excellent CD and one which you’ll have no trouble listening to over and over again.
