Rio Grande Mud is far and away my favorite ZZ Top album. Every tune is a keeper, and I love the raw, gritty sound the band had back then. The later remixes by Bill Ham and others are okay, but maybe a little too polished for my liking. I tend to think there was a conscious decision to have them sound more like the MTV-era stuff. Just a guess.

Great song. They definitely recycled that opening riff in Sharp Dressed Man. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. One of my all time favorite bands.

Spring 1973, just as Tres Hombres was released, I had the pleasure of seeing the boys live for the tidy sum of $1.25.

Love ZZ Top...the first 7 albums are pretty much all I listen too from them. Rio Grande Mud is great but my fave is Deguello...’Fool for your stockings’ is one of the best blues/rock tunes ever, IMHO. Thanks for posting.
