Editorial Review:
Album Description: One of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever to strut the 50 States, these sharp-dressed Texas titans-Billy F. Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill-are a righteously hell rain' power trio boasting a 30-plus year hit-making legacy, both in the studio and at concert arenas. With their revved up blues 'n' boogie, they always make the most of their Texas birthright with with a distinctive sound that shakes up rock, blues, soul, garage-funk, Americana, and more. Nowhere is their force of nature musicianship better displayed than on these two album classics, revved up wtih red-hot bonus rarities. "You know what I'm talkin' about...an how how how how."

Back in the very early days of what was the called Rock & Roll, guys like Elvis and Bill Haley and the Comets, "Rock" was kind of a big band boogie kind of affair. For me at least it wasn't really Rock until a little trio from Texas came along called Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Rock was pared down to its bones, a bass, a guitar and drums, with edgy lyrics that people didn't know exactly what to do with.
In that fine tradition came this little band from Texas, and a new generation of Tex Rock was born. After its release, Tres Hombres was the one album that always got played at any party I went to in High School, and all the guys thought of themselves as Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. At one dance at my school, the band was ... Read More:

Excellent sound quality. I'm now hearing the more subtle things that we couldn't hear back in the 8-track days. I saw these guys many, many times in the early 70's just before they hit it big and this CD really brings those shows back to life.
If you're a ZZ fan you will love this version.

This is my personal favorite ZZ Top album, thankfully remastered in it's original form (minus all of the synthetic crap added on the Six Pack remixes and not fixed until 2006). Everybody even vaguely familiar with ZZ Top probably already knows the merits of these songs on this disc. My main reason for writing this review was to warn about downloading the mp3 album (which I almost did because this item was out of stock). When you click on the Buy mp3 link, it directs to to the 1990 release, which is the one you DON'T want. Apparently Amazon doesn't have the 2006 Original Recording Remaster available for download.

No doubt the best ZZ Top offering of all! Three chord blues at it's finest! A total classic! This album/cassette/CD/ has been rockin' households for the last 35 years and still will be for the next 35 years as long as there are beer drinkers and hell raisers!
