Texas Lightning is a German quintet from Hamburg which fits in the country music genre and describes itself as old fashioned and hip.

Their music is a mix of country and pop drawing from country classic stars like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash and Tammy Wynette and pop stars such as ABBA, Nancy Sinatra, Linda Ronstadt, Madonna, Michael Jackson and the Beatles, performed with some country humour.

On March 9, 2006, Texas Lightning won the German heat for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 and represented Germany in the Finals on May 20, 2006, in Athens, Greece.

The winning song was "No No Never", written and composed by Jane Comerford.
