Texas Platters

The Figurados

Streamlining its name from 25 Smokin' Figurados, this local duo lassos enough Texas mojo to imbue their roots-heavy power rock with tobacco-stained bravado ("My Situation," "People of Earth," "She Plays With Fire"). Gregg Kirk's sly vocals lend Lesson Two a distinctive fire, while partner Tim Abbott's "Drift To Sleep" settles into a wistful tenderness.
