What can you say about a band that hit the big time rhyming ˝much˝ with ˝tush˝? This is ZZ Top before Billy Gibbons discovered synthesizers, before MTV was invented, before the long beards and fur-encrusted drum sets. This is Nudie-suit wearing, stages shaped like Texas accompanied by buffalo and vulture, era Top. The national hit ˝LaGrange,˝ mumbled vocals about a house of ill-repute over that John Lee Hooker riff and scalding guitar, the regional hit ˝Francine,˝ which caused the Stones to reconsider the advisability of booking Top as their opening act, and eight more cuts off their first four records. A lot more fun than a boxed set. Almost as fun on CD as eight-track. Give it to someone you love.
