Unexpectedly, Texas became a popular sensation prior to the release of White on Blonde, when {%Chris Evans} made the soulful single "Say What You Want" the de facto theme song on his morning program on Radio 1. On the strength of his support, Texas were catapulted to previously unthinkable success, and the majority of the fans who thought the number one single was fine shouldn't have been disappointed with the full-length album. A combination of roots rock and soul, White on Blonde occasionally has more style than substance, but Sharleen Spiteri's gorgeous vocals and the band's professionalism make the record a charming, ingratiating listen.
