Southside is the debut album by Scottish rock band Texas.

3 in the UK Albums Chart and within three weeks of release was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.

The album's first single "I Don't Want a Lover" was released on 23 January 1989 and peaked at no.

Despite this, a fourth single, "Prayer for You", was released on 13 November but stalled at no.

The Los Angeles Times wrote that the album's strengths "revolve around the way the Scottish quartet fuses some of rock’s most appealing elements: the lonesome, sensual slide-guitar sound of Ry Cooder ... and vocals by Sharleen Spiteri that recall the liberating spirit and convincing character of the Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde and Lone Justice's Maria McKee.
