Guitarist & main vocalist Billy Gibbons said that he first fell in love with the blues when he was 7 and his dad took him to my grandfather’s recording studio where BB King was recording a session! I only learned this last year. Made me so proud of my Grandpa!

The car was featured in all of the videos they did from the Eliminator album, and the car actually became known as "The Eliminator". Billy Gibbons (guitar/lead vocal), Dusty Hill (bass/backing vocal) and Frank Beard (drums and the only one WITHOUT a beard)...That Little Band From Texas...these guys are gods down here in my home state!

ZZ TOP: The Reverend Billy Gibbons - guitar, vocals, writing Mister Dusty Hill - bass, vocals, writing Mister Frank (clean-shaven) Beard - drums, vocals, writing. The whole "Eliminator" LP is hot, and I do believe Eliminator is the name of the car (which is a 1938 but I forget make and model).

"I Need You Tonight" is one of many with great guitar solo(s). "It's Only Love," very bluesy. These are their other single hits, not all, I'm sure. Have a nice evening!

ONE ASPECT of ZZ TOP's music is MISSISSIPPI DELTA BLUES. That genre of music is unique to the deep south. It takes every day mundane events and converts them to blues. A perfect example is BLUE GENE BLUES. Billy's guitar work is probably one of his very best. You have not done them justice until you react to that.
