Texas To Release 10th Album
Texas flex their “rock soul muscle” on their upcoming 10th studio album, ‘Hi’.
Three years ago, Sharleen Spiteri and bass guitarist Johnny McElhone stumbled on some outtakes from the Scottish rock group’s 1997 LP ‘White on Blonde’ and had intended on turning them into a “lost album”, but they were instead inspired to pen new tracks in the same vein, which make up the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Jump on Board’.
Bandleader Sharleen said: “Our excitement at finding this treasure trove of songs collided with our excitement back then and, unplanned, new songs started coming.
“You could say we were inspired by ourselves!”

Verdict: Hit and miss return
When they hit the commercial jackpot with their fourth album Only By The Night in 2008, Kings Of Leon looked set to join rock s big league.
The singles Sex On Fire and Use Somebody were everywhere, and the world s stadiums beckoned for a family quartet who had broken through five years earlier by mixing Southern country with the lean guitars of a garage band.
But superstardom eluded the three Followill brothers, sons of a Pentecostal minister, and their guitarist cousin Matthew. The excesses of touring and inter-band squabbles took a toll, and a run of indifferent albums followed.
