Following the announcement of their stunning new compilation album The Very Best Of 1989 – 2023Texas have released a brand new cover of ‘Keep On Talking.’ The track is the second unreleased song to be taken from the compilation. 

A foot-shuffling cover of the 1965 Northern Soul deep-cut, written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham – and produced by Oldham in Muscle Shoals, the band’s rendition of ‘Keep On Talking’ has the Texas stamp. It’s packed to the brim with attitude, vibe and coated in Sharleen Spiteri’s undeniable tones. “It was a dream to work with Spooner on this northern soul classic that he and Dan Penn wrote,” Sharleen said of the track. “The records that Spooner has played on alone made working with this legend very, very special.”Listen to ‘Keep On Talking’HERE.
