Great article! Isn’t it Ray Wylie Hubbard who in one of his talking blues songs calls the 13th Floor Elevators the greatest rock and roll band ever?!

One wouldn't know from listening to this song that Fever Tree was a Texas group, but they hailed from Houston. This was a hit in San Francisco and reached #91 on the Billboard Hot Hundred.

If there aren’t enough dead bugs in your 4” x 10” dashboard speaker (singular), ZZTop just doesn’t sound right.

It’s interesting in part because it includes pictures of a clean-shaven Billy Gibbons. By the time I became aware of ZZ Top in the late ‘70s, he and Dusty already had chest-length beards.

Roky Erickson and the electric jug. I used to watch them when they came on the R&R dance show on Saturday morning in San Antonio. The 13th Floor Elevators were just cool.

I really like the 70’s hard rockin’ Roky Erickson, some great hard dark rock. What a voice.

My favorite ZZ Top story is how my dad convinced our country music fan neighbor to listen to the entire side one of a zzz top album by saying it it must be a country band because they were wearing cowboy hats...hahaha

I recently saw Gibbons on Daryl’s House. He was great.

I saw Roky again this weekend. He did a lot more Elevators songs than I’ve ever seen him do in the past.

I’ve liked some of the other bands I’ve seen him with over the years a bit more (and I’ve even seem him play with Billy F. Gibbons).

I got to catch the Moving Sidewalks last year. They did better with the blues based tunes than the new arrangements on the rock songs.
