Texas Tea are currently working on songs for their 2nd album to be recorded in August 2007 at Junkship Studios, Brisbane. You can buy their first album "Take a Sip" HERE or just download a few tracks from iTunes here:
"Brisbane's King and Queen of country" Gary Ogders - Live Review 1/7/2007 - Time Off Magazine
"A note-perfect take on the timeless and authentic side of country music...An excellent first-up offering - 4/5." Steve Bell - Time Off Magazine - "Take a Sip" Album Review
"Kate’s voice could suspend a scalpel in mid-air. Chairs collapse, birds explode, etcetera. Ben’s guitar and slide is the bed on which the cowboys collapse after Kate’s king-hits." Carmen Keates - Live Review - Album Launch
"It's twangy, authentic, lonely-diner sort of music and quite, quite lovely." Unknown - Live Review
