Tex, whose style derived from gospel and country music, was one of the best and most versatile of Southern soul singers, as well as one of the few who was able to survive into the disco era without really changing his approach.. This album collects most of his work between 1962 and 1969, beginning with his early efforts as a sort of Fats Domino wannabe ("You Got What It Takes"), and it includes both his breakthrough 1964 hit "Hold What You've Got" (Tex sings only the choruses--on the verses, he's basically delivering a sermon) and the rowdy and funny "Skinny Legs and All," the two songs that most define the outer limits of his style.
24 tracks of his early Dial recordings from 1962-1968

Whether you were one of the fans who feared or one of the detractors who hoped that Pink would fail to follow-up her smash debut album, M!SSUNDAZTOOD serves notice that the lady with the pink hair (yes, it still is) is more than just a one-shot flash in the pan. The grooving pop of the title-track is less hip-hop oriented than Pink's previous hits, sounding more like an amiable collision between Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray. "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just Like ...

"...(a) gem of a pop record." -Mark Jordan, The Commercial Appeal (album came in at #7 on the Memphis daily's "Top 10 Local Releases of 2005" list)"Both their voices perfectly meld together, which makes the harmonies one of the great attractions of the CD. Check the bare, Everly Brothers-like 'Teenage Heart', for example. And talking about attractions, the energetic 'Keeping Still' could have been written by the young Elvis Costello." (4 out of 5 stars)-Peer Bataille, Alt-Country NL "(The album) emits a clean, catchy sound with smart songwriting that blends the sounds of early '90s R.E.M. (circa 'Automatic For the People') on numbers like 'Perpetual Afternoon' with pedal steel and mandolin accompaniment that gives it the same drive as Michael Stipe and crew."-Mitch Morgan, Oxford Town"...one of the better recordings I’ve heard out of Memphis in the last few years.""The dual lead singers have truly engaging voices that seem to keep you listening to the story they are telling; and while there are two of them, I defy you to be able to pick one of them out as they harmonize perfectly together."-Jonathan Kiersky, divingin2memphis.com"The songs are strong and have plenty of hooks and lyrical quirks...a fine record."-Patrick Wilkins, Americana UK"This acoustic-based four-piece band is more folk than country and not alt-anything, though their ever-present harmonies and jangle-folk songcraft are reminiscent of onetime alt-country standard-bearers The Jayhawks."-Chris Herrington, The Memphis Flyer"As poppy and radio-friendly as The Central Standards can be at times, they’re never bubble-gum or anything you could imagine your 10-year-old sister listening to. Everything’s just a little too bluesy — a bit too seventies — for modern mass consumption."-John Dyson, performermag.com"This follow-up (to 2003's Refrain)...shows a band that is maturing and ready to be heard on the national level."-J-Sin, Smother MagazineForgive us if we have a bit of a complex. For once, though, it's not due to the pressure of writing, performing and recording in the shadows of Memphis greats like Elvis Presley, Al Green and Alex Chilton, but rather the knowledge that no entity that touched the production of this record (aside from the band, thankfully) is still in business. Let us explain.When recording commenced on ...
