Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Why did the Top ever quit playing this style?... Comment: Texas boogie is the best way to describe this album (their best album) and this is the style I love them in.I never came to terms with their 80's persona and I never thought that they should have abandoned the trademark style that endeared them to so many of us in the 70's.Songs like "La Grange", "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers", "Hot, Blue and Righteous", "Precious and Grace", "Master of Sparks" and "Move Me On Down The Line" put their 80's work to shame.The days of cowboy hats, rhinestone suits and "That Little 'Ol Band From Texas" beat the days of long beards hands down.Get this album(along with "Rio Grande Mud", "Fandango" and "Tejas") and boogie to your hearts content. Customer Rating: Summary: How, How, How, How... Comment: This is "THE" ZZ Top album. An absolute classic. One great tune after another. If you don't already own this you need to get with it kid. Customer Rating: Summary: Tres Hombres Comment: I had this, originally, on vinyl, then, later, I bought the CD of 1990. That CD always impressed me with its incredible drum sounds. I bought this because it was remastered & had three bonus cuts. This was the first Top album I ever bought & I now consider it to be second only to Eliminator. This album was the one that broke Z Z Top into the public with "La Grange", "Waitin' For the Bus" & "Jesus Just Left Chicago" which are still some of my favorite Top songs. "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" is an excellent album cut. Normally, Rhino does an excellent job on the remastering process but, here, I found the drums to be somewhat subdued. So, I have mixed feelings on that regard. The three bonus cuts are all live versions of the three best known songs from this album. That's okay, but it's no great shakes in my book. After more than thirty years I still enjoy listening to this album. Customer Rating: Summary: THREE BAD MEN!! Comment: I have a soft spot for this album because it was the first ZZ Top album I ever heard. A buddy of mine turned me on to it when it was their new release back in the day. I still have it on vinyl and just ordered this Rhino remaster. This is the ZZ Top I prefer, not the ZZ Top of 'Legs' or 'Sharp Dressed Man' even though I do like those songs. Their sound got a little too slick for my taste. This album has a rawness to it that I love and there isn't a bad track here. Great guitar tone from Billy and he tears it up, especially on Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. And of course the Top classic 'La Grange' is here. This album SHOULD be a part of any ZZ Top collection. Customer Rating: Summary: The way it was meant to be heard. Comment: The album is a classic, probably their best. And of course this is the original mix, unlike the version in the "six pack" compilation. I've never heard such a drastic difference in sound than what was done to the albums in the "six pack". Anyway, here it is in it's original thunderous form. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: One of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever to strut the 50 States, these sharp-dressed Texas titans-Billy F. Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill-are a righteously hell rain' power trio boasting a 30-plus year hit-making legacy, both in the studio and at concert arenas. With their revved up blues 'n' boogie, they always make the most of their Texas birthright with with a distinctive sound that shakes up rock, blues, soul, garage-funk, Americana, and more. Nowhere is their force of nature musicianship better displayed than on these two album classics, revved up wtih red-hot bonus rarities. "You know what I'm talkin' about...an how how how how."
