![]() The vocals are very interesting, how they are sung that is, kind of slurrs his words like a lot of blues musicians and that goes great with the song. Then it continues for a while with added distortion. The song starts off with a very simple, but effective guitar line. Upon the first time I heard this song it had felt like I had known it for years. Great song.Ĩ) La Grange - This is one of their earlier popular songs, and rightfully so, I still belive the song to be one of their best. But his Mexican peso used as a pic ads a nice effect to it. A very interesting guitar solo, which I believe is played with a slide. Then they change it up for a little while moving it a little more upbeat than it previous was. For about halfway through the song they go with the same riff for a while, which really works well with the vocals in the song. ![]() 3.5/5ħ) Precious and Grace - This song is great because of its wonderful blues grooves and riffs. The vocals in the song get a tad bit annoying after a little while listening to them. So I'll give the song 3/5Ħ) Move Me On Down The Line - Starts off with very simple guitar and drum work, then goes into a very interesting guitar riff. It is a pretty slow, ballad of sorts, and that sort of ruins the whole mood of the album thus far. It is a good song, but it just doesn't really sound like ZZ Top, is what I don't really like about the song. 4/5ĥ) Hot Blue and Righteous - I find this song to be alright. Then, there is another great guitar solo, after that the song ends. But still maintains its greatness throughout the song. After the intro, the song changes up a bit and slows down a little bit. 5/5Ĥ) Master of Sparks - This song probaly has the best groove on the album, and probaly one of my favorite intros of all time. He also delivers one of the best guitar solos on the album, and it really makes the song even better than it already was. Billy's guitar tone on this song just screams Texas blues, which is so great. Good song 4/5ģ) Beer Drinkers and H ell Raisers - This song is classic ZZ Top, this is probaly one of the many definitive ZZ Top songs. The guitar solo in this song is alright, just not as good as some others on the album. It is not as much a guitar led song as most of their songs, but their is some nice guitar licks thrown in here and there. The rhythym section on this song is great, and very noticable. This song very much remind of the song "Stormy Monday" by T-Bone Walker. 5/5Ģ) Jesus Just Left Chicago - This is a much slower song, compared to the last track. The song is definitely a great way to start off the album. Then there is a series of two guitar solos, the first one is played with a slide, and the second is just another great Billy Gibbons bluesy guitar solo. The rhythym section is of course great and always on track. The riff is really the backbone of the song, meaning it really holds it together well. Most fans of ZZ Top's earlier years will say that this was their last good album.ġ) Waitin' For The Bus - The song starts off with a very addictive guitar riff, at a pretty moderate pace. By this time their sound had totally changed, they had lost a lot of their original fans, but had gained a lot more with their new image and music. Even though, their music started to change quickly after that (possibly for the worst). It is unfortunate that a lot of people really only think of their more popular, poppier songs like "Legs" and "TV Dinners" whenever they think of ZZ Top.Īfter the release of Tres Hombres they decided they needed to take a three year break, and decide what direction they really want to take their music in. To this day Blly Gibbons, uses a Peso as a pick.Their Texas-Blues-Rock is most evident on their first three releases. ![]() They somehow always took their Texas background wherever they went, and brought it to their music. They were a raw blues-rock band out of Texas. Before ZZ Top was a band of fuzzy guitars and synthesizers.

This ain't an anti-war song like I first thought. However, the whole song's lyrics are a bit on the oblique side (a trait common to many DD songs), so if you look all the lyrics they don't really say anything. So phonetically it was easy to mishear the first verse of the song as such. There was much anti-war sentiment and many people were saying that the peacekeeping mission was a fiasco - a big mistake. The Lebanon peace mission had sucked American, British, French and other nations' peacekeeping troops into the bloody Lebanese civil war charnel house. When this song peaked near the top of the charts around the Christmas holidays more GIs were killed and one pilot was held as a POW (he was later released). There was ground fighting and air and sea attacks would soon follow. Marines were killed in a single day by a suicide car bomber.
