Dusty Hill did the lead vocals on Tush. From Wikipedia….”As the closing song in their setlists for many tours "Tush" would be the last song Hill would sing. After the death of Hill in 2021, the band performed the song for the first time on July 30, 2021, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with Gibbons placing Dusty's hat on his microphone then Gibbons taking lead vocals to the song. A few tour dates later on August 6, Gibbons told the crowd “We’re going to have Dusty singing through the magic of Memorex.” The band would now end their concerts by playing the song along to an audio vocal recording from Hill's last performance.”❤️

thats hella cool right there

So touching! Thank you for this info.

[@roncypert8255]

[@Marvintheballoonman]

I got to see their first concert in an old airplane hanger off pacific coast highway around 1976. It had become a bar and the stage was the bar. Cleared the floor and WHAM !!! Their last tour at SDSU outdoor amphitheatre, still AMAZING. Glad I recorded most of it.. Thanks, great tribute 🙏 ❤️

[@73cgreene]

Saw them in Missoula, MT shortly after Dusty died. It was a boiled-down show - 3 old dude playing the blues. And it was awesome! While I wish I'd seen them back in the Afterburner days in the 80's, I finally got to see the legends perform live.

[@phunkjnky]

This is the late, great, Dusty Hill, on bass and on vocals. Here's a vote for "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide..."

I’ve always defined ZZ Top’s sound as “Texas Soul” because that’s where you feel it. Down to your soul.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Yep. If you have to label it, that's as good as any!

[@89801wink]

Or Red Dirt Rock

[@kathybwell]

Perfect description, "Texas Soul". Love me some ZZ - Kids next ZZ Top try "Jesus just left Chicago / Waitin for the Bus" ♥

[@MrBonners]

Actually the official genre is called 'Texas Blues". See Stevey Ray Vaughn, Janis Joplin, George Thorogood...

[@Rosedach]

@@89801wink There's no red dirt in Southeast Texas.

[@rray848]

The nick name for them is "The Little Ol' Band from Texas"... You ought to try one of their old bluesy songs like the medley "Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago" or "Blue Jean Blues". Billy Gibbons played a fictional version of himself in the TV show "Bones". He played the father of one of the characters (Angela). When one of the other characters was dating her he got him drunk and had a portrait of her tattooed on him.

[@donnagonatas3155]

Oh wow! I remember that!

Actually, the nickname is "The Little Ol' **Bar** Band From Texas"!! 😁 So Jay was right when he said that they came outta those "tough Texas bars"!!

[@stephenreid5441]

I heard Blue Jean Blues back in my teen years so more than 40 years ago. (not gonna say how many years.) This has always been in my Top 3 ZZ Top songs. I am from Texas, and saw them live not long after album came out. R.I.P. Dusty...

[@darrencrafton4799]

Nothing better than Texas Blues Rock. ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc....you can't go wrong

[@markcatanzaro9699]

Damn right!

[@richarddexter7641]

Imagine, these guys played together as a group for 52 years before Dusty Hill passed away. Most marriages don't last that long, let alone bands. Incredible band, and incredible talent.

[@donlawson3330]

For more Texas stuff, try "Tuff Enuff"by the Fabulous Thunderbirds with lead guitar by Jimmie Vaughn (Stevie Ray's older brother and guitar inspiration).

[@wrutledge1]

Wrap It Up from them was cool too. Always dug that one.😎

[@nancyburke8745]

Sir Paul McCartney was once asked what it was like to be in the greatest band in the world. He responded, “I wouldn’t know, I was never a member of ZZ Top”.

[@kevinconroy6108]

Me three - although a bit earlier - the Deguello Tour in 1980 range. I remember that their stage was in the shape of the State of Texas. I didn’t smoke weed, but I sure inhaled a lot of second hand smoke! Was one of my top ten concert experiences over my 45 or so years of music enjoyment.

[@JustMe-gn6yf]

@@kevinconroy6108 saw them in 78 in Dallas and again in 04 at Eric Clapton's Cross road festival at the Cotton bowl with a bunch of other great guitar players from BB King Carlos Santana Buddy Guy Vince Gill and more

[@dickieburbank]

I'm gonna be in the minority here, but "Rough Boy" is my favorite of theirs. My favorite Billy Gibbons solo. Sounds like he channeled David Gilmour. Totally different sound.

[@robertfenton9059]

Totally agree. The guitar solos in that song are amazing.

[@vernhoke7730]

Rough boy is a great tune. That and Lagrange.

Frank Beard's "bearded" drum set is housed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland; look it up! Next stop: "Jesus Just Left Chicago."

[@MrTech226]

Speaking of ZZTop, members voiced as themselves in animated sitcom, King of the Hill. Reason for ZZTop being on this show is that Dusty Hill plays Hank Hill's cousin. They always pranking Hank.

[@paulcwalina7910]

"We're just a little ol' blues band from Texas." If you like innuendos, try "Tube Snake Boogie," Pearl Necklace," and "Got Me Under Pressure"

[@thomasking5472]

It's easier to count ZZTop songs without innuendo than songs with innuendo. LoL

[@twenty3enigma]

Weird but true: ZZ Top and Depeche Mode toured together in the 80s. Billy Gibbons taught Martin Gore some cool guitar stuff, and Martin Gore returned the favor by helping ZZ Top with their synth sounds. Both bands' sounds benefitted from the info exchange.

[@danjmcs]

Yeah, that's Dusty on the lead vocal, such a great tune.... this was the first Top 20 hit for ZZ and still is fresh today...

[@RyanBHarvey]

Should definitely do “Jesus Just Left Chicago” next. And “LaGrange” after that. So good.

[@bigb6046]

LaGrange for sure!

When Jimi Hendrix states that Billy Gibbons is the best guitarist ever you know the man is going to come up with some good riffs. Other ZZ Top Tracks. "Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings" Heard it on the X", "LaGrange". "Pearl Necklace", Party on the Patio ", "Mexican Blackbird" "Just Got Paid", "Blue Jean Blues", "Balinese," "Arrested While Driving Blind" and many, many more.

[@shariscott5084]

La Grange is one of my ultimate road trip songs!

[@bradsullivan2495]

"Stages" is another ZZ Top song that's seemingly been forgotten, but is a good one. "Velcro Fly" is also worth a listen.

[@simplesimon8586]

Yes, Stages was among my top favorites from ZZtop. A little bit of a different sound for them, though the amazing guitar work is still front and center. A little less bluesy and a bit more 80’s rock. Almost has an introspective sound to it. Everything on this album, from Stages to Rough Boy to Sleeping Bag was all great.

[@videovisions]

"Just got Paid Today" is a good one. I still sing that in my head on payday!

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

ZZ Top is the only US rock band to have had the exact same line-up of members for over 50 years. Only after the death of Dusty Hill last year did the group change since its formation in 1969. Amazing!

[@velvetplatz1024]

I just saw ZZ Top in Concert last Tuesday with Cheap Trick as their Special Guest and it was AMAZING!! We got to meet them, they were really cool and down to Earth.

[@reality1958]

Can’t wait till you do “Waitin’ for the bus/Jesus just left Chicago”

When I was playing with bands, this was definitely one of those songs that would always pack the dance floor. La Grange is another banger that falls right in line with this one.

[@richardkeel4875]

This whole album (Fandango) kicks ass. Myself I like their early albums 70's best.

La Grange is a great tune too. Great music for a road trip

[@vandergod]

If you want to learn all about ZZ Top, Netflix has their documentary, “That Lil’ Old Band from Texas” (I think it’s called). It’s worth watching.

[@roguegunfighter9194]

I finally saw them live last summer in Tuscaloosa Alabama just after Dusty passed. Billy did an amazing job! It was a bittersweet bucket list moment. I thought they would cancel but Billy said Dusty would have wanted him to give a hell of a farewell show and he damn sure did!

[@timoteo950]

Nice!! I grew up in Tuscaloosa. Glad you enjoyed the show. Wish I could've been there.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

The slider used on the solo sections in this song is amazing!! I have to say, this song is possibly my favourite ZZTop track..... It has everything!!!! Thank you for reacting to this song!! 🤘

[@karlsmith2570]

hey Jordan and Amber, Fun Fact for you: This song is one of the numerous ZZ Top songs that have The late great Dusty Hill on Lead Vocals

[@williamjordan5554]

If southern rock bands were starting out now, they'd be classified as country artists. Country music is where old school rock still breathes.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Before Dusty passed away they was the longest running United state group with original members. I love how they use to interdict their selves as a small back from Texas . They music is called Texas Blues

[@kimcutts6153]

Not heard this one by ZZ Top . But I really liked it. 👍. Had me stomping my feet & nodding my head. That made me happy. 😃🔥

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Their official Legs video HAS to be next. It's a classic - and so much fun to watch. Amber - it's all GIRL POWER.

[@unkleseamus7969]

The actual meaning of this song is not what it seems to be, although the band does acknowledge that it can be taken as such. Now, I am not a Texan, so I may not have this 100% right. The story goes that back in their youth the term "tush" could be the equivalent of what today is called "bling" or "swag." A person who showed off their wealth with their clothes, cars and such were know as "tush hogs." Dusty wrote the song about wanting to be a tush hog and having all of the stuff that goes along with it.

[@aussiebloke609]

Bit of both, actually - they've also admitted it meant getting a piece of ass. As Billy Gibbons once said, "We had the advantage of that dual meaning of the word "tush." It's that secret blues language - saying it without saying it."

[@jackmorgan3498]

When you want some kinda easy belly rubbing music... Blue Jean Blues...is what you want from ZZ TOP!

[@luciemurphree1597]

That's pure Texas Soul!!! From Janis to SRV to ZZ Top, you 100% know when an artist is from Texas.

[@caseyhazelman2390]

The vocalist was bassist Dusty Hill. He passed away a couple of months ago.

[@recoil53]

Texas produces a lot of fierce guitarists, from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Johnny Winter, Dimebag Darrell to Freddie King. The list is deep.

[@aussiebloke609]

One of the most contagious riffs that ever came off a guitar. Once that groove starts, it's hard not to get into it and start toe-tapping. :-)

[@bradsullivan2495]

The band came together when Billy Gibbons left his Houston-based band, Moving Sidewalks, and looked to put together a new group, choosing Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, who had left their Dallas-based band, The Warlocks.

[@carrerlluna66]

Also Dusty was in American Blues. They did some trippy shit like " If I was Carpenter "

[@sf0tacticalguy]

I finally figured out exactly why you two are so much FUN to watch as you're reacting. You both let yourself submerge into the music. Jordan, your head bounces. Amber, is all over the place. It's that honest appreciation that gives you both wings when the music starts.

[@roncypert8255]

The first time I saw them was in El Paso, Texas in 1972. We made the short trip from Las Cruses, NM to see Savoy Brown and Uriah Heep, who were both fantastic, with ZZ Top opening for them. Let me tell ya, if the headliners hadn’t shown up, no one would have left disappointed! I suppose it’s because they hit me at a very formative time in my musical evolution, but my favorites are still Waitin On The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago, La Grange and Tush.

[@rickgarms7656]

"Just Got Paid" and "La Grange" are two of my personal fave ZZT songs. I know you've already film this coming "Female Friday" vlogs, but for future recommendations, you might enjoy some more Eurythmics..in particular, "I Need A Man", (a real rocker), "Savage" (sweet, biting and downlow) or "Put The Blame On Me" (perfect 80's anthem) all off the "Savage" LP. Enjoy the tunes J & A. You guys have a great "Vlog Vibe"...very positive.

[@vickiroman189]

Oh yeah, "I Need a Man," please and thank you!

[@jasonmorales1846]

This is Dusty singing.He really has an awesome voice.Not sure if you listened to Beer Drinker Hell Raiser?You would dig that one as well.

[@rhondadonald7315]

They loved the blues. Great documentary on Netflix about them

[@larryleyba6496]

A very obscure but rocking song is Bad Girl, Just Got Paid is an absolute banger, They also do a song called I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide thats a great ZZ Top classic. Many Many More!

[@paulthompson4545]

I saw them the first time when no one had heard of them, it was a Steve Miller band concert at Arrowhead stadium and they were the first act. we couldn't see their faces, only the beards because they had some huge sombreros on. when they played we all became zz top fans, a couple months later I bought the tres hombres album, been hooked ever since.

[@FreedomsRealm]

Saw them live. So amazing, I think it was 2008. Even though they were older they had so much energy and the vocals and instrumentals were on point. They had to take away a woman who had stripped down naked and tried to climb up to the stage lol. Daryl's house has a great episode with Billy Gibbons where you get to hear him talk about some things. I don't think you have done Cheap Sunglasses. If you haven't that is my next recommendation for them.

[@vernhoke7730]

The late great Dusty Hill is singing lead on this one. As for the number of albums sold, I've bought quite a few of them.

[@AliasMark69]

"TUSH" is always a crowd favorite with Dusty doing the vocals, and he means every word he says...... AWESOME

[@kookiemonster3261]

I just had a conversation with the brother of a recently past country legend " Randy Cornor was my neighbor whom passed" about Billy gibbons playing guitar with Randy. Long live TEXAS!

[@danydany1973]

Billy Gibbons, the guitarist, does most of the singing, but Tush is sung by Dusty Hill, the bass player who passed away last year.

Ya Billie Gibbons is the lead singer. Love them. He is also a recurring character on Bones. He plays Angela's father. Funny as hell. Lol

[@jackgilchrist]

It is Dusty Hill, the bass player (who recently passed) who is singing this particular track. According to Billy Gibbons, "tush" in this song is the Southern term meaning "plush, deluxe." But Billy has been known to BS sometimes, so take it as you will ZZ Top has a wide range of influences based on what they heard growing up from the outlaw radio stations across the border (where there were no transmission power limits, so they could he heard all over the South and sometimes up North too), and Billy having a cool baby sitter that took him to all the good music venues as a child. But I'd say the most prominent are rhythm and blues, boogie, country and rock. A very Texas style of Southern rock, and practically their own genre.

[@jim7580]

In 1973 I saw ZZ Top and the Bachman Turner Overdrive in a nightclub! They were incredible.

[@paulhudson1041]

makes me almost cry hearing Dusty's voice, glad I saw them live 7 times, THE BEST, RIP DH

[@nosaltpillar4188]

Hey guys greetings from Fort Worth, Texas. I absolutely love you guys! A little fun fact……. I used to teach at a local trade school and nd I absolutely adore music. I became close to one of my fellow instructors who will remain anonymous. Anyway, he is a bit older than me and he always had interesting stories that he told. One day during a tell all he asks, “Have you heard this band and that band”? And then he says, “Have you ever heard of [The Moving Sidewalks]”? I said no who were they? He says, “They were a local band back in the 1960’s comprised of Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard (who ironically doesn’t have a beard and my friend and co-worker”!! Can you just imagine working alongside the predecessor of Dusty Hill!!! Anyway, I’ve always loved ZZ Top and will always have a soft spot Mr………. ahhhhh anonymity!!!!! Y’all should check out “Bluejean Blues”! It is probably their most laid back song so don’t play it during parties. Keep up the great work guys!

[@Ecosse57]

RIP Dusty Hill. What a voice.

[@joelhammond4162]

Billy F Giibbons was initially in a band called the Moving Sidewalks and they were locally popular in Houston. They were able to open some shows for some bigger name acts and in 1968 were approached by the management of the Jimi Hendrix Experience to be the opener on their tour. Obviously, they gladly accepted. However, when they were informed that they were expected to perform a 40 minute set they didn't have enough original material and decided they'd have to play the 2 new cover songs they had rehearsed, which happened to be Foxey Lady and Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. The first night of the tour, Jimi is watching from side stage with arms folded. When the band came off stage, Hendrix approached Gibbons and said, “You got a lot of nerve kid. I like that.” Hendrix reportedly once responded to the question, what does it feel like to be the greatest guitarist? with the answer, “I don’t know, go ask Billy Gibbons.” Also search YT for Billy talking about Prince. Very interesting.

[@davidc5864]

There are some great stories told about ZZ Top, who despite their money and fame stayed very grounded and humble. Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill were traveling alone driving through West Texas heading back home to Houston. Towns in West Texas are few and far in between. They get off in one of these small towns for gas and a snack. They then noticed an old building with a sign that simply noted that it was a Bar. There were about 20 vehicles parked around it and I think all were pickup trucks. I can assure you that the guys inside were a pretty rough crowd. Upon entering the bar, they noticed everyone turn to see who just came in. They were probably hoping it was a couple of local cowgirls but when they saw who it was, they simply couldn't believe their eyes. I mean what in the hell were the chances that these two famous Rock Stars would be joining them in this run-down West Texas bar. As they stared in shock the first words said was from Billy Gibbons who yelled " All drinks are on me, so drink up". After many drinks, handshakes, hugs and pictures they departed and gave those cowboys a memory that they will never forget.

[@bethhowton2719]

Yes, they are from Houston. When I was a young teen, they played the local spots and parties. I saw them at a department store grand opening once, they had a different band on each floor. Love my hometown boys. Enjoy

You want some good "whiskey drinking on your front porch blues" check out ZZ's song "Brown Sugar" off their first album released in 1971

[@Wonky-Donkey]

I remember (barely but I do remember it) partying in the 90's with this song playing. Bottles of tequila and whiskey in a weekend while jamming to ZZ-Top. Good times.

I love you guys! The best reactions on KZbin! You have to listen to ZZ Top I’m bad I’m nationwide!

When they first started out, they had a Concert at a small town dive and only one guy wandered in. They played the whole set anyway and that guy stayed in touch for years!

Dusty,'s vocals on Tush😎

[@JivinJoe1984]

The Dust had some great vocals. Him singing Elvis Presley's jailhouse rock, Viva Las Vegas and let me be your teddy bear was awesome to hear him sing them

[@O_Towne_Bear]

"Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Left Chicago" is a must

Honestly, there’s a Texas side to every genre! Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Edie Brickell, Norah Jones, Susan Gibson, Townes Van Zandt, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Willis Alan Ramsey, Robert Earl Keen, Talking Heads, Spoon, Slim Richie, Asleep At The Wheel, Soul Hat, Lightning Hopkins, Alejandro Escovedo, Black Pumas, Jackie Venson. All have some kind of uniquely Texan influence, and all are incredible.
