Marvelous slow blues groove. This is one of my favorites, along with La Grange. I like EARLY ZZ top best. Saw them live around 1972 when they opened for Deep Purple. We had never heard of this band before, but we never forgot them...
I agree completely about their early work. ZZTop First Album is still my fave. Massive blues record. I was lucky enough to grow up in Houston and saw them a few times before they put out a record. So good
One of my all time favorite ZZ Top tunes. From one of my all time favorite albums, "Fandango!" It is traditional, without being dated, and it is still relevant. Great music just never goes out of style, and these boys had STYLE.
ZZ Top is laying down some serious blues. I saw them live three times, and they always delivered killer shows. Great band. Thanks, Biz; your channel is Excellent - and your commentary is a big part of making us all smile.
This is my FAVORITE ZZ Top song. Back in the 70's we named our hot rod cars. This was the name of mine, I even a girl embroidered this on my jacket... Thanks Biz
Saw ZZ 8 times in the early 80's. He plays that guitar slung way down low. Great band live. Billie Gibbons on guitar and lead vocals. Dusty Hill(RIP) on bass and sometime lead vocals. Frank Beard( The only guy who doesn't wear one) on drums.
I don't know how many others suggested this, but I know I suggested this one and Heartbreaker. Heartbreaker is a funky countrified tune that is fun to hear.
Was at this show pictured on the album’s cover. Side one recorded live from The Warehouse in New Orleans. Blue Jean Blues is the 2nd song on “studio” side two, just after a monster called, “Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings.” Give it a spin Biz. 🤘
I was up front by the stage at The Warehouse. That was my 3rd time seeing them. Saw them first in Thibideux then Morgan City. Last time was in Seattle in 1980. Got to mellow down.
@@brotherbob3569 Damn, we may have passed a smoke that night. I’ll never forget their World Wide Texas Tour in Tulane Stadium, replete with Steer’s, Buzzards and Rattlesnakes on stage. Quick side note, the owners of The Warehouse and Beaver Productions (remember them?) were friends with the largest concert promoter’s in Chicago at the time, so they were able to bring many of the biggest acts to town, to play in a 100 yr old coffee warehouse with no A/C on The Miss. River. They had also signed Hendrix for two appearances there, which sadly were never made. Still, some good times brotherbob. We both got to mellow down “easy,” in The Big Easy. 😎
My older brother claimed that he talked to Hendrix in the Quarter. I saw many great shows at The Warehouse. Ten Years After. Wishbone Ash. The Allman Brothers. Commander Cody. Seatrain opened for Black Sabbath & many more. Go to The Warehouse Concert List & it'll list every show. Dam I missed a lot of good shows.
Nice song choice. For another slow blues burn from them check out "Sure Got Cold After the Rain Fell" or "Hot, Blue and Righteous". ZZ Top is one of my favorite bands. It's hard for me to choose a single favorite band, but they would definitely be in the running. Their 70s era of music is my favorite but they came out with some really good albums in the late 90s that tend to get overlooked. There's a badass song on the Antenna album called "Breakaway" that you have to check out in the future. I'll always tune in for some ZZ Top 👍👍
Billy Gibbons is the guitarist and lead vocalist Biz. Dusty Hill is the bassist RIP 2023 who also sang lead on some songs. Jimi Hendrix told Gibbons he would be big and when his band the Moving Sidewalks opened for Hendrix in mid to late 60s before the beard!
Billy Gibbons the guitarist sang this song. But Dusty Hill the bass player sings too. Do “let me be your teddy bear” and Elvis cover song. It is live and Dusty kills it with his singing.
Yes , that's Billy Gibbons/guitar/vocal. Has there ever been a more blue song ever recorded?...I think not! Now do please do "Nasty Dogs Funky Kings" from this album it's fire, I promise! You're not going to see a lot of votes for it because the main stream public just don't know, because they didn't catch on until Sharp Dressed Man. But anybody who had this album from back in the day could tell you it ROCKS!
Fandango was the first 8 track that I bought from ZZ Top and then after listening to it just one time in my car I immediately got it on a Real to Real and took it home and I bet that I listened to it at least 5 times that weekend and my friends that lived in the apartments were I stayed all weekend long were there just listening to it with me and we were partaking in a little something for the head and jamming out and hearing that song on your channel tonight just brought back so many memories and man do I wish I could go back to those days 😢❤
Dusty Hill comes in and sings a few of their numbers, but you can always tell its him because of the higher range. But to your point, this is Billy. Or the Reverend Willie G as he is often called.
Your info is faulty, it is Billy Gibbons, but it is David "Dusty" Hill on Bass and Frank Beard on Drums, not Joe and Lee. Don't wanna nitpick, but I do want you to get it right. Okay?
