Texas - Acoustic Versions, Volume 2 (2008-2021)

It's been a huge pain in the rear for me having to redo all the download links recently, but at least it's had the positive effect of helping me notice some problems with my music collection. One example would be albums I thought I'd posted yet never actually did. Such as this one. I posted "Volume 1" of Texas doing acoustic versions of some of their songs back in October 2022. I even mentioned that I had a second volume coming. Then I just... forgot. Anyway, here it is, finally.

All the performances here are officially unreleased. But the sound quality is very good, because virtually all of them are from in person radio station appearances with no audience. That may even be the case for all of them, except I don't know the source for the first song, other than it being from 2008.

As I said with "Volume 1," I actually prefer the acoustic versions in most cases over the usual studio album ones. Most of the songs are originals, but there are a few cover versions, such as "Xanadu" and "Suspicious Minds." In those cases, they are different versions than the ones I used in the three covers albums I made for the band.

This album is 50 minutes long.

My apologies to the other band members of Texas, because once again the cover photo is only of the band's lead singer, Sharleen Spiteri. All I know about the photo is that it's from 2005. That's a few years before the time frame for this album, but I picked it because it shows her playing an acoustic guitar.
