Review - :
Blessed with their first full-fledged hit album, {$ZZ Top} followed it up with {^Fandango!}, a record split between a side of live tracks and a side of new studio cuts. In a way, this might have made sense, since they were a kick-ass live band, and they do sound good here, but it's hard not to see this as a bit of a wasted opportunity in retrospect. Why? Because the studio side is a worthy successor to the all-fine {^Tres Hombres}, driven by {&"Tush"} and {&"Heard It on the X,"} two of their greatest songs that build on that album by consolidating their sound and amplifying their humor. If they had sustained this energy and quality throughout a full studio album, it would have been their greatest, but instead the mood is broken by the live cuts. Now, these are really good live cuts -- and {&"Backdoor Medley"} and {&"Jailhouse Rock"} were fine interpretations, making familiar songs sound utterly comfortable in their signature sound -- and {^Fandango!} remains one of their better albums, but it's hard not to think that it could have been even better. [The 2006 reissue of the album adds three live tracks: {&"Jailhouse Rock,"} {&"Tush,"} and {&"Heard It on the X."}] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
