ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank " Rube" Beard (drums). ZZ Top was formed by guitarist Billy Gibbons, who had won praise from no less than Jimi Hendrix for his guitar work with the Houston b&, Moving Sidewalks. After the break-up of Moving Sidewalks, he recruited fellow Texans Dusty Hill & Frank Beard. Inspired by Muddy Waters, the Rolling Stones & Texas blues legend John Lee Hooker, they played a solid brand of blues-rock that won them a devoted loca ...

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 ...

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: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums, percussion). This is ZZ Top's tenth album.ZZ Top entered the '90s with what was billed as a back-to-basics release, 1990's RECYCLER, five years after its previous album. The trio abandoned the Top 40, platinum-paved path it had followed on such 1980's mega-hits as ELIMINATOR & AFTERBURNER, to return to the blues rock boogie that had made it one of rock's finest outfits. While there were still synths spr ...

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 ...
