Well, if you just had your biggest hit ever, you'd probably try to replicate it, too. & if you were praised for being visionary because you played all your blues grooves to a slightly sequenced beat, you'd probably be tempted to not just continue in that direction, but to tighten the sequencer & graft on synthesizers, since it'll all signal how futuristic you are. While you're at it, you might visualize how space age this all is by turning your signature car into a space shuttle. If you look ...

Like precious few bands from the '70s whose best work is mummified daily thanks to classic rock radio, ZZ Top just keeps rolling on into the next decade. There's much to love here, from the downright nasty stomp of " Fuzzbox Voodoo, the powerhouse slow blues of Cover Your Rig, the bass-pumping looniness of Girl in a T-Shirt, to the slow grind of Breakaway." While Billy Gibbon's guitar tones on this album are highly reminiscent of Tres Hombres (an early high-water mark for the band), the hig ...

ZZ Top took an extended break from the tour trail & the recording studio after wrapping up the tour for its 1976 album, TEJAS. DEGUELLO (Spanish for 'beheading') was issued three years later, & continued the Texas trio's winning streak. Most ZZ Top fans consider DEGUELLO to be the last link to the band's characteristic early blues-rock; it moved to a more accessible sound with its '80s releases EL LOCO, ELIMINATOR, & AFTERBURNER. Ending the '70s on a high note for the b&, DEGUELLO includ ...

Although it began as an album-oriented, hard-edged blues b&, ZZ Top had amassed quite a number of Top 40 hits by the early '90s. All are featured on 1992's 18-track GREATEST HITS compilation, making it a more comprehensive career overview than 1977's shorter THE BEST OF ZZ TOP. The only problem is that it doesn't contain a single selection from such early ZZ Top classics as ZZ TOP'S FIRST ALBUM, RIO GRANDE MUD, or TEJAS. But if you're searching for the best known ZZ Top tracks, GREATEST HITS i ...

A CD accompaniment to the Eagle Rock live DVD release of ZZ Top's November 1, 2007 set at the Nokia Theater in Grand Prairie, TX, Live from Texas is one for the fans -- a latter-day live record that's by no means embarrassing but not very captivating, either. The set list is hits-heavy, containing every one of the MTV hits from Eliminator & all the classic rock radio staples, all taken just a little bit slower than they were on record. That combined with the crystal clear production makes the ...

ZZ Top: Bill F. Gibbons (vocals, guitar); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums). Recorded at Foam Box Recordings, H-Town, Texas. Still chugging along three decades after members of Houston garage bands the Moving Sidewalks & the American Blues united in 1970, this little ol' band from Texas makes its mark on 2003 with MESCALERO, the trio's first album in four years. As one of the first blues-rock power trios to fuse synthesizers with their straightforward brand of boogie, ZZ Top conti ...

Before they sweated their image down to beards, babes & hot rods, ZZ Top were a down 'n' dirty blues-rock trio with a bonafide hot guitar player in Billy Gibbons. On this 14-track offering, Warner goes back through the back ZZ catalog & cobbles together an interesting collection of the Texas trio's bluesier sides that originally appeared on their earliest albums. Highlights include " Brown Sugar, A Fool for Your Stockings, My Head's in Mississippi, Apologies to Pearly" & Gibbons' stor ...
