The secret behind ZZ Top's space-age, synth-boogie makeover

In 1973 a young Billy Gibbons sought out producer and engineer Terry Manning to work with him on ZZ Top's next album. Over the next decade their partnership saw ZZ Top's sound transform from the raw blues-rock of "Tres Hombres" to the groundbreaking "Eliminator." Manning was instrumental in catapulting the humble blues trio to platinum success. Ever wondered how that little ol’ band from Texas metamorphosed from a humble blues trio into a space-age, synth-boogie sensation? Then you’ll want to hear this great conversation with a genuine music legend.
