“White on Blonde” was the album which put Texas back on the map in 1997, and there is no doubting it is a superb album.
It has 14 tracks on it, including the singles “Say What You Want”, “Halo” and “Black Eyed Boy” (my personal favourite track). If you are looking for a less heralded track recommendation try listening to “Drawing Crazy Patterns”, also a superb song. Indeed many of the additional tracks on this album would have been successful singles.
Texas show a great versatility in this album. From the writing, the performance and Sharleen Spiteri’s vocals the effects cross a range of styles, but the quality is never less than top class. An excellent album.
