Black Eyed Boy Taken from their top selling studio album White On Blonde this single release by Scottish band Texas peaked at number 5 in UK charts in 1997. Bass performance Johnny McElhone. This is my version of this 90’s classic. This is how I would play it on stage with a band. Not exact as original.
