ZZ Top – Tres Hombres
La Grange was a big hit, but I didn’t know much about ZZ Top otherwise.
I was browsing through K Mart at Corio one day, and picked up Tres Hombres for about $7 in a vivid green cover, because La Grange was on it.
It was an instant hit with the boys and myself, but I don’t think it is a girl’s record. It is just plain loud, driven music.
It must have been the 80’s, I was surprised to find that the record was issued in 1973. I haven’t really liked anything else they have done since, but I certainly like this one.
The current version has been remastered and has three bonus live tracks. It also has a nice little booklet about the songs. Dusty Gibbons comments about Jesus just left Chicago, ‘The blues is everywhere, and we used His name to get the point across’. Might just play it next time I’m home alone!
