Their older music was better in my opinion much more bluesy. Sharp dressed man and others were more commercial sounding

[@humpy936]

Yep, unfortunately true.

[@Martin.Wilson]

Exactly so. I'd love to see Harri's reaction to "Heard It On the X"

[@pablozee6359]

Yep. 70s ZZ Top is a very genuine representation of the independent spirit of Texas back in those days. The 80s stuff was slick, polished, MTV ready, and fun, but lacked the heart, soul, and grit of the earlier music.

[@jayjordan7104]

Yes

[@garyjohnson3081]

You’re are correct their earlier music was the best.

[@philipschroeder410]

ZZ Top, the "little ole Band from Texas" is at heart, a blues band, heavily influenced by Mississippi Delta Blues.

[@akashicvizion]

To quote the Reverend Billy Gibbons, they're "the little ol' **bar** band from Texas"!!

And Freddie King

[@mrzredbadger7848]

these 3 guys helped so many Texas musicians get their start...literally paying for buses for the road trips...much love

Yes, Billy Gibbons voice has a black timbre. It fits perfectly to their blues. Hendrix spoke highly of Gibbons. I met him here once in Germany on the street. Cool guy.

[@rickhughes8998]

Billy, Dusty, and Frank were large fans of Muddy Waters, and I am sure John Hooker and other well-known bluesmen as well. They had some great role models who taught them how it is done!! I have always loved ZZT and think Billy Gibbons is really pretty cool. Love his voice. Another excellent reaction Harri. Thanks.

[@chrisd7047]

If memory serves it was BB King who talked Billy into changing the strings on his guitar. He'd been using big ol' fat strings to get a big ol' fat sound, but it was killing his hands having to push down with so much pressure constantly. BB saw it and asked him "man, why you workin' so hard?" BB basically told him he didn't need all that string to get the sound he wanted, so Billy switched to the thinnest strings he could find and got his sound another way. But don't ask him how he gets the sound he gets. He won't tell you. It's a secret he guards very jealously.

[@SvenTviking]

Billy played with Hooker and found out that John Lee didn’t change key on the set bars of a 12 bar, he changed key when he felt like it, and everybody else had to be ready for it!

[@Ncxgroup]

3 guys from Texas. I grew up in Texas, and the music influences across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, and Arkansas at the time were incredible. At night on the AM band of the radio, you could hear stations from Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, Austin, Dallas, and Mexico, with the pirate stations blasting the sound back into the US. They even have a song about it called "I Heard It On The X" Every night, you could hear rock, country, blues, R&B, Gospel, Classical, you name it, it was there, and it was coming from all over the country at night. I was a roadie for the boys in the late 70s for a time on the ZZ Top World Wide Texas Tour. Dusty's big influence was Elvis. Billy has a number of them.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Grew up in south central Kansas and we'd get AM during the day on WKY and then KOMA at night from OKC on our radios. Fun times. Those were our two preferred stations over something else. But if out driving you'd have to hunt to find something but usually could and yes, it would be a variety.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Can’t remember how many times I’ve seen them, but The Worldwide Texas Tour was sick, and so was The Wharehouse in New Orleans, the night I caught them recording what became the A side of the Fandango LP. Been a solid fan since “First Album.” Wondering if you did the European leg of The W.W. Texas Tour. I believe that was the largest rolling show at the time. 🤘😎

Billy Gibbons grew up in Houston, one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States. He sings the way he sings because he can't sing any other way, it's how his voice has always sounded. I sing this pair of songs every gig I play, and I don't even come close to Billy, but people love it.

[@mikelundquist4596]

When Billy was growing up there were not many radio stations playing blues, so he would listen to a radio station out of Louisiana, I think called the X. If I remember correctly it only came in at night. I believe it was the inspiration for "I heard it on the X".

Thank you for this! This may be their best album, or the studio side to their next album ‘Fandango!’ It’s all fantastic. For 2 or 3 years in the mid-‘70s they may have been the greatest band in the world. Billy Gibbons got to open for Hendrix when he was young. Hendrix gave him advice and a pink guitar. Johnny Winter helped ZZ TOP when they were starting out, and they helped out Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan and Fabulous Thunderbirds with guitars, exposure, and buses full of hometown fans to look good at away gigs. It’s a Texas thing. “Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings”, please!

👍 Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. My first rock concert: May 19, 1973 East Tennessee State University Rory Gallagher - ZZ Top 4 bucks It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, BG and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and BG made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since. RIP Dusty, Rory, Lou, and Rod. Thank You! Keep Rockin, Gerry!

[@paroldeley586]

Pre-MTV ZZ Top is so much better than post-MTV ZZ Top. Both are good, but there is no comparison. Thanks, enjoyed your review! By the way, this is arguably the best ZZ Top album according to us "old guys" who heard it when it was new! If you can get an album, open it up and look at the food!!!

[@MisterWondrous]

This album was on heavy rotation at one of the hippie houses from my past. At one time Billy Gibbons and friends were musicians' musicians, but they were typecast in the video age, and they became more known for their look than their sound. Hearing it with headphones is an entirely different experience, and an enriching one at that. They sounded like they had walked the talk. And their instruments were distinct and creative voices in their own right. Brilliant dyad.

[@Martin.Wilson]

True as hell. I was one of those hippies that bought this album, like every ZZ Top album, the week it came out. It was in the 80's, when "Legs" was crushing the video scene that I lost interest as well. Just not the same edge to their music after that.

[@masterofsparkshwy6974]

@@Martin.Wilson same here, they've had a song now and then that reached back a little, but never quite there. It's ok to grow, and change as an artist, but, this one, these guys...

[@chrisd7047]

They had to stop a tour once so Frank could go to rehab. Some reporter asked Dusty what they were going to do now, like replace Frank on the tour or something. Dusty's response was a shrug and the line "I'm goin' fishin'."

When ZZ Top headlined the Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia 20-odd years ago, Billy Gibbons apparently wasn't happy about being labelled "old" in the local media. And so, like the absolute boss that he is, he demonstrated his youthful vigour by bringing a treadmill onto the stage, and delivered most of his performance while jogging virtual rings around the critics. Watching the man deliver a blues-rock guitar masterclass while getting in a nice, long aerobics workout was priceless.

This album is one of their earlier ones. During the bands early days, they did a lot of touring along the deep South from east Texas all the way across and played a lot of small clubs in Louisiana and so forth. They have a very distinctive, bluesy, funky sound simply because of Where they grew up and also where they were playing. When I hear this album in general, I think of gravel, parking lots, fried chicken, beer, and Cotton Fields. That’s a bizarre description I know, but that is what I see in my minds eye as I hear the music. There was never really anything like ZZ Top before, and there really hasn’t been anything like them since. They are pretty much in a category all by themselves. They are definitely Texas through and through.

ZZ Top have been playing since 1969, so they have a good 55 years under their belt. Their solid foundation was based on B.B. King and Z. Z. Hill and they originally wanted to call the band ZZ king in homage to the two musicians but found it was too similar to their own names. They then decided the King is at the top so the name ZZ Top was agreed on, and the rest , as they say, is history. Until their 1981 Eliminator album, ZZ Top music was very much New Orleans Blues orientated and you can really feel it in Jesus Just Left Chicago.

Zztop is the most relatable band. They achieved commercial success, while keeping the band together. 50 years of dealing with Billy's BS

I used to ride my bike past Billy's house hoping to see him back in Houston during the 70's. Got to meet them after a concert and Dusty Hill (the main singer) was amazingly nice and super cool.
