Texas

This Glasgow based band have been playing their mix of rock, soul and new country sounds since they formed in 1986 by bassist Johnny McElhone. With the release of White On Blonde in 1997 they became major stars, propelled by huge pop hits such as Say What You Want and Black Eyed Boy. Many groups could be destroyed by such success, but Texas have continued writing and recording, sustained by their very particular love of music, and listeners can still enjoy the classic mix of Sharleen Spiteri's distinctive vocals with an experienced band who know what they're doing.

Del Amitri's easy blend of pop and country-rock has made them a worldwide road and radio staple since the mid-'80s. The band was formed in Scotland in 1982 by bassist / vocalist / songwriter Justin Currie and longtime guitarist and collaborator Ian Harvie.
