This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of
Billy Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and Frank Beard
(drums). They were formed in 1970 in and around Houston
from rival bands the Moving Sidewalks (Gibbons) and the
American Blues (Hill and Beard). Their first two albums
reflected the strong blues roots and Texas humor of the
band. Their third album (Tres Hombres) gained them national
attention with the hit "La Grange," a signature riff tune
to this day, based on John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen."
Their success continued unabated throughout the '70s,
culminating with the year-and-a-half-long Worldwide Texas
Tour.
Exhausted from the overwhelming work load, they took a
three-year break, then switched labels and returned to form
with Deguello and More...
To bad when your old label does more for you than your new one. Bill Hamm obviously had full control. I grew up listening to the first releases of these recordings. For over 20yrs, the only thing on CD was remixes with digital reverb and every other gadget that was coming out at the time that completely ruined each and every song. Thank the lord for this unadulterated CD! Amen!
Come on now, these same lyrics have been floating around since the 'Net began and I can't believe that everyone thinks he's singing "with my can of dinner and a bunch of fine"! What the hell does that mean?
"With my can of dinner and a Poncho pie*"
*It's a sort of Tex-Mex fast food - Google it!!

------ About the song Heard it on the X performed by ZZ Top
With a relentlessly churning tex-mex rhythm fired by a toothy, rauchious close-miked guitar and groovaciously placed up-beat handclaps, "X" is a rollicking remeniscance of the golden era of offshore bootleg radio, when jocks like Wolfman Jack and the above cited Doctor B would broadcast from barges in the Gulf of Mexico, spinning sides at the time considered too exotic for general consumption. One of, if not my fave selection from "that little ol' band from Texas!

Quality mix of Blues & Rock | Reviewer: Dave
------ About artist/band ZZ Top
ZZTop, what more can i say, the beards have said it already! They combine true blues with the best of old school rock & even a few choice modern components. Their unique style is backed by their experience as genuine proffessional musicians, unlike the majority of modern music. This foundation in true music makes many of their more comic videos & songs really work, where others would fall miserably to the way side. A must see is their Greatest Hits video, it gives their best songs, as well as the video which brings them to life. You can even see not so subtle references to some of these videos in the simpsons! In the end though, there is little more to say than that the band produces completely amazing music!
i dont think the ending is right, i think is something like
Soundin’ like lightning shake the house from under.(pretty sure)
Cause wait floor metal aint professional.(not sure about the first 3 words)
