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 ...

ZZ Top's long-awaited return to the blues finally arrived in 1996, well over a decade after they abandoned their simple three-chord boogie for a synth & drum machine-driven three-chord boogie. Like Antenna before it, Rhythmeen is stripped of all the synthesizers that had characterized the group's albums since Eliminator but the key difference between the two albums is how Rhythmeen goes for the gut, not the gloss. It's a record that is steeped in the blues & garage rock, one that pounds out ...

By its second release, 1972's RIO GRANDE MUD, ZZ Top was honing the tough blues rock hybrid that would make it a certified U.S. arena headliner by the mid-70's. While the album didn't spawn the big radio hits of its later releases such as " La Grange" & " Tush, RIO GRANDE MUD was another incredibly consistent & inspired ZZ Top classic. Again, Billy Gibbons' guitar work is outstanding throughout, helping to spearhead such great cuts as the rugged opener Francine, the gritty attitude of Just ...

On Tejas, ZZ Top countrified the bluesy posture of their previous albums, resulting in a slight detour between the madcap spirit of Fandango & the psychedelic strut of Deguello. While the album lacks any singles as strong as " Tush" or " La Grange, Arrested for Driving While Blind" is one of ZZ's classic anthems, capturing the group's wacky humor & jaunty good-time boogie. Other highlights include the driving " Enjoy & Get It On, Avalon Hideaway, & the fine instrumental Asleep in the ...

Recording information: 1973. On 1973's TRES HOMBRES, everything came together for ZZ Top. While it was near inconceivable that the trio could better its superb previous effort, 1972's RIO GRANDE MUD, here ZZ Top so ...

Theoretically, aging wouldn't be that difficult of a trick for ZZ Top to pull off, since the little ol' band from Texas is thoroughly grounded in the blues, an ageless music that can sound equally good from the young & old alike. So why does ZZ Top sound stiff on XXX, a record celebrating their 30th anniversary? Part of it could be that the songwriting is decidedly lightweight, but a band as seasoned as ZZ Top should be able to make even third-rate material at least listenable. The real answer ...
