Format:Audio CD
For as long as I've been a Texas fan, I've always thought that they should release a live acoustic album. At last it's here. Not only is it a live album, it's a 2CD set! It covers all of their career from Southside to Careful What You Wish For. I guess Red Book was too recent.
Sharleen has the perect voice for acoustic albums. It's well recommended.

Being a die-hard, long-time fan of Texas, I have to admit to a little bias on my part, but anyone who enjoys unplugged, powerful female vocals should get a copy of this collection.
Sharleen Spiteri has the kind of voice that no matter how many times I hear it, I still shiver with pleasure when her dulcet tones waft from the speakers.
She has a wonderful range of tone, and is, in my personal opinion, one of the most outstanding artists of our time, along with Alison Moyet, if a little obscure for some people.
These sessions at the BBC were unknown to me until I saw this collection advertised on Amazon, and to say I was laying in ambush for the postman when it arrived is not an understatement.
Spiteri can sing better live than most women artists I know of, and her amazing voice sounds just as good, if not better when she's singing live, as it does when it's recorded.
She goes through a repertoire of both classic and new songs, in a beautiful medley, backed by the gorgeous guitar playing that is heard on all her albums.
This is easily more than worth the money I paid for it, being a 2CD set, and is rarely off my stereo since it arrived.
Anyone who hasn't heard her sing before would be more than well advised to buy this collection, as it shows the range that this woman can cover, all neatly packaged in a subtle cover.
This isn't just an artist unplugged, it's a lesson to other artists, as to what can be achieved with a little variance from the norm.
I love it, and think you would too.
Buy it, try it, then tell your friends.

Versions of all the favorites we Americans have NEVER heard!!!
10 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
Most Americans do not know who Texas is and that's a real shame because they are superstars throughout much of the world and their unique sound is simply beautiful. I stumbled upon Sharleen Spiteri and the guys from Texas back in the summer of 1989 and have been hooked ever since. For a bunch of white guys and one amazing female vocalist from Scotland, they have a blue-eyed soul sensibility unheard in most pop outfits. Eight albums and two greatest hits into a twenty-year career, this double CD presents the band's rare BBC performances. Simply wonderful!
Sharlene and band do not disappoint

There is always a good possibility that music recorded live in a radio or tv studio will lack the inspiration of a live audience and the quality of sound from a recording studio.
These discs have the quality of "live in the recording studio" and represent a solid, if not electrying, performances.
I don't know why this set was not release in America, but even casual fans of Sharlene should get this set if it becomes available for a decent price.
