The Best of ZZ Top [1977]

Performer: ZZ Top
Producer: Bill Ham
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums). Not to be confused with the 1992 compilation GREATEST HITS, 1977's THE BEST OF ZZ TOP includes 10 of ZZ Top's best tracks from its first five records. As longtime ZZ Top fans know, the trio was at its bluesiest and most rocking during this period, and the tunes included here are what made it one of the '70s' most popular rock bands. Opening up with raunch rocker "Tush," the rest of the track list is as spicy as a good old Texas barbecue--"Waitin' for the Bus," "Francine," "La Grange," "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers," and "Heard It on the X," to name but a few.

Blues-rock has rarely gotten more down and dirty than with Texas's famous long-bearded trio ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill are responsible for some of the greatest party anthems of all time. They produced a number of 1970s rock classics, and in the '80s they managed to adapt successfully to changing times, scoring hits with a souped-up, synth-flavored sound. Eventually, though, they got back to their gritty, bluesy roots, and in 2004 ZZ top's contribution to rock & roll was officially recognized via their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
