Texas Twister is an album by the American musician Johnny Copeland. It was released in 1984 on Demon Records in the United Kingdom, and Black & Blue Records in France. A CD with additional songs was released on Rounder Records in Canada in 1986. It is a compilation of four albums Copeland recorded for Rounder Records. It was produced by Dan Doyle. It was engineered by Michael Finlayson, who also played percussion. It was recorded at Unique Recording, New York City.

Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that the album "reasserts Copeland's prowess as a harsh blues shouter and earns him new respect as a songwriter". The Philadelphia Inquirer noted that "the playing is terrific—the presence of the tough horn section accentuates the asperity in Copeland's voice." ==Track listing==
