Tex, Don and Charlie

Tex, Don and Charlie

Tex, Don and Charlie is an Australian super group formed by Tex Perkins from The Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon and others, Don Walker from Cold Chisel and widely respected guitarist Charlie Owen. Their first album "Sad But True" was released in 1993 with the second released in 2005.

The band was founded in 1992 as Tex Perkins relates: "I saw Charlie and thought 'Jesus Christ'. He was easily the best rock guitar player I had seen. He was really dexterous, but gutsy. Not flashy. I think it had a lot of jazz in him as well. I made a mental note that I'd like to work with Charlie and about I year later I heard he was playing with Don Walker in Catfish. Then somebody suggested I do something with Don Walker and I said 'Sure, as long as Charlie Owen is there'."Fact|date=April 2007

Don and Charlie had worked together a little, but as a group they barely knew each other when they cut "Sad But True" in 1993. Their potent, distinctively Australian country-blues cocktail matured on stage, as faithfully reflected in their heady live album of 1995, "Monday Morning Coming Down".

Over the next 10 years they all went separate ways, but remained in contact.

In March 2005 Tex, Don and Charlie had been talking about a second album for four years; swapping songs in the mail for three; nailing them together over various stolen rehearsal sessions for nearly two.Fact|date=April 2007 "All is Forgiven" was released in August 2005 and a successful tour followed.
