Music reviews of Chrome Smoke & BBQ: The ZZ Top Box
Music Review: ZZ TOP Box Best !!!!
Rating: 4 Stars
ZZ TOP is one of these classic blues group, but with the power and louder sound of the guitar, trademark of them. This box set is for blues lovers, only get out some songs like "Backdoor Love Affair" between others, this box set is wonderful for 70's Rock Lovers. ZZ TOP is one of these legendary groups of the Rock Music.
Billy Gibbons (guitar, keyboards, vocals; born December 16, 1949), Dusty Hill (bass, keyboards, vocals; born May 19, 1949), Frank Beard (drums; born June 11, 1949)
ZZ Top plays red-hot Texas boogie and blues, and no one does it better - or has done it longer - than this "little ol' band from Texas." The trio's enduring appeal owes much to their mastery of and feel for rootsy forms. Guitarist Billy Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard were influenced by such blues masters as Freddie King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. From the beginning they took a hard-rocking power-trio approach to the blues, cultivating a new audience for it in the Seventies and Eighties with superior musicianship as well as attitude, style and some devilishly funny songs.
The genius of ZZ Top is that they're reverential about the blues but loose and funny about the subject matter of their songs. Their songs are laden with pop-culture references, sexual double entendres and the determined pursuit of a good time. They have written about fast cars, fishnet stockings, sharp clothes, TV dinners, cheap sunglasses and "tush." They visually connected with the MTV generation by virtue of Hill's and Gibbons' long beards and fur-lined guitars. For many, ZZ Top have been the premiere party band on the planet. Certainly, they have been Texas's foremost cultural ambassadors.
ZZ Top formed in 1969 as Gibbons' psychedelic blues band, the Moving Sidewalks (who released one album, Flash), was coming apart. He hooked up with Beard and Hill, who'd played in American Blues (which cut a pair of albums). The trio bonded around a shared love of basic blues, boogie, rock and all things Texas-related. ZZ Top played its first show in February 1970. Their lean, driving approach helped launch the Seventies on its hard-rocking course. They brought rootsy vigor to the music scene, surviving over the decades by demonstrating an ability to adapt and evolve without radically altering the foundations of their sound.
ZZ Top signed to London Records - home of the Rolling Stones and John Mayall, a plus in the group's eyes. Their earliest albums - ZZ Top's First Album (1970) and Rio Grande Mud (1971) - staked out their bluesy, no-frills territory and gave them a chart hit, "Francene." ZZ Top solidified their sound on Tres Hombres (1973) by recording in Memphis. Musically, the union of Texas blues and Memphis soul became a hallmark of ZZ Top. Tres Hombres' key track, "La Grange," was a growling boogie about the same place celebrated in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
The band built a word-of-mouth fan base on the road, and nonstop touring in turn propelled record sales. Tres Hombres reached #8 and became the first in an unbroken string of eleven gold and platinum albums. The next two albums - Fandango! (1975) and Tejas (1977) - hit #10 and #17, respectively. Fandango! yielded the hard-driving "Tush," which became ZZ Top's first Top Forty single.
