5.0 out of 5 stars 12 Years later, still my favorite CD, September 21, 2000

It's the soulful Ry Cooder sound and the smart lyrics that make this disc ageless. I love this CD and I recommend it highly to you. It's my D.I.D.
I just purchased my third copy of this disc. I play it so often it just wears out.
Join us - the select few in North America who know this band is one of the best. You may not know them because their US record label couldn't promote a cure of the common cold, but buying this CD will enlist you as a select member of the secret Texas admiration society.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fan from Paris, France, February 27, 2002

By 

Denis (Paris, France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Southside (Audio CD)

In the past four months the song "I Don't Want A Lover" has been playing on a radio station in Paris, France where I live. I did not know the band's name until I visited USA this month and was happy to find it with the help of a store in Montpelier VT. I am buying 2 copies to bring back with me to France. Sharleen's voice is beautiful and the music is soooo good! Hope my comments help someone learn about this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three years and still the best, October 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Southside (Audio CD)

Was introduced to Texas' Southside three years ago and have listened to it almost everyday. Sharleen sings very deep, low, and soulful; especially on "Say a Prayer" which happens to be my favorite song on the album. "...Prayer" has the spirituality and intensity of singing around a campfire without any of the fluff or nonsense. Every song on this album is well-written. The slide guitar that appears in a few of the tracks is haunting. This is by far the best album Texas has produced. It has an intensity that will endure the test of time. No one can mimick the raw power of Ms. Spiteri's voice!
