Great blues tune - nice choice. Playing along to it right now... thanks!
Saw them in 73/4. Tres-Hombres top 10 of all time albums. I really miss those albums that were good beginning to end.
Not really, referring to Stevie as a TX blues rocker of a similar ilk, as are the FTBs imho
But ZZ Top was always unique
That was the time to see them, beat my by 6 years and pre hiatus, I would have loved to see them in a smaller setting
Ahh yes, Kimberly... March '81, I believe ;-) Gina Tomasino was pretty sharp as well. From the top of the line models in all their videos right down to the spinning fuzzy guitars, ZZ Top epitomizes rock and roll class.
I miss the 80's.
I never hear a song from or an interview with ZZ Top that doesn’t impress me more.
One thing that helps is they stay strong. I saw them on the VH1 tribute a few years back. They blasted out Gimme All You’re Lovin’ and Cheap Sunglasses as great as they ever did, shaming Nickelback’s attempt at Sharp Dressed Man. Then Heart came up, Nancy did the guitar all right, but Anne just couldn’t do the vocals anymore, really blew Crazy on You. They should have retired a while ago.
“Long Distance Boogie” from the Fandango album — recorded live, hot and righteous~!
Uhhhh
I miss the 80’s.
The 80s were good times for a single guy living in Southern CA. Except I don’t know how I made it through without so much as a cold sore....if ya know what I mean. I am not gay (on the contrary, lots of women during the 80s for me) but this movie captures the beginning of a scary time back then.....a great movie:

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner ;-) Sorry for the late reply but wanted to recognize your correct answer. Double Extra-Points for the graphic ;-)
The song appears in Stephen King’s novel, The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands, where in the series’s post-apocalyptic alternate reality of Mid-World, the song’s looped percussion intro, played via a large PA system in the decaying city of Lud, is referred to as “the God Drums”.
“Mexican Blackbird” has to be one of the funniest songs ever written.
Great song. Back at you: What song was Billy Gibbons playing on the TV show Bones when Jack asked him for his blessing to marry his daughter?
Love me some ZZTop. Got to see them in concert in ‘86 in Shreveport, LA (Afterburner tour).
That’s the one I was originally going to post, to be honest... then I decided it might not be that great for general consumption lol
Drive that ole Chrysler to Mexico, boy...
