The Scottish group Texas and the American northern-soul pianist Spooner Oldham (Aretha Franklin, Neil Young, Bob Dylan) collaborate on a joint album: The Muscle Shoals Sessions. Recorded at the legendary Fame Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the historic tracks from Texas's repertoire are revisited here in a piano-voice soul-gospel style, without artifice, without cheating, in the simplest form. We rediscover 12 of the group's greatest hits, and two covers ('Would I Lie To You' by Charles and Eddie and 'Save The Last Dance' by The Drifters), through the soulful voice of Sharleen Spiteri, accompanied by the delicate piano lines of the American virtuoso Spooner Oldham, inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
