Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Before their reinvention as a remix-friendly pop band. Before Sharleen Spiteri became a sex symbol of sorts. Before the relegation of the other members (in video clips and photo shoots) to baffled anonymity. Back in the day--1991, to be precise--when Texas, true to their name, were a gutsy little country-flavoured rock combo, rather in the style of Lone Justice. "I Don't Want A Lover" bought the Glaswegian quartet to attention, but also set a standard that neither their debut album, nor this one, their sophomore effort, quite managed to equal. Yet for all their rootsy flourishes, they were still first and foremost a rock band: producer Tim Palmer gave them a slick AOR sound, and made the most of their strengths--notably Ally McErlaine's lonesome slide guitar, on the brooding "This Will All Be Mine". But Spiteri's vocals were colourless, and many of the songs seemed perfunctory. Now, of course, they've embraced dance-pop with the same kind of cautious acceptance they once reserved for country music and the blues. Neither fish nor fowl, as ever. --Andrew McGuire

5.0 out of 5 stars Scottish blues, 9 Jul 2003
By dangermash (Hartlip, Kent) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Surprised to see just the one review for this album and that it's only given a 3 star rating. Southside was class. But to me the next two albums are better - that's Mothers Heaven and Rick's Road. Both bluesy, both with catchy tunes. No hesitation in recomending these to blues fans. Texas fans that only came in at the White on Blonde stage might not get what they expected though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as their debut, 28 Sep 2000
By A Customer
"Mothers Heaven was the second album by Texas and the follow up to their debut album "Southside". The album saw a change in style for the band and despite the fact that the album is not bad it fails to live up to the high expectation created by their debut album. This album is a lot darker than it's predecessor, which is maybe not what the fans were expecting as the album is nowhere nearly as commercially accessible as their debut which had a very pop meets rock style. The album is not bad its just that it had a lot to live up to and the album doesn't quite meet the benchmark set by "Southside" with the tracks being rough, dark and hard sounding and not as "pop" based as those on their debut album such as the brilliant "I Don't Want A Lover". The highlights on the album include "Why Believe In You", "This Will All Be Mine" and "Alone With You" and these are really the only tracks that I feel are good enough to be included on "Southside".

5.0 out of 5 stars A good follow up!, 9 Feb 2004
This is every bit as good as 'Southside' - I am writing a review some ten years after buying it, but it has stood the test of time (even though I once took *only this* with me on a trip to the Isle of Barra, by mistake - such a long time with only one piece of music would normally have put me off for life!). Bluesy and ballsy, and - though not wishing to belittle their achivements - generally better than their more recent albums.
