Review - :
{^Tres Hombres} is the record that brought {$ZZ Top} their first Top Ten record, making them stars in the process. It couldn't have happened to a better record. {$ZZ Top} finally got their low-down, cheerfully sleazy blooze-n-boogie right on this, their third album. As their sound gelled, producer {$Bill Ham} discovered how to record the trio so simply that they sound indestructible, and the group brought the best set of songs they'd ever have to the table. On the surface, there's nothing really special about the record, since it's just a driving {\blues-rock} album from a Texas bar band, but that's what's special about it. It has a filthy groove and an infectious feel, thanks to {$Billy Gibbons}' growling guitars and the steady propulsion of {$Dusty Hill} and {$Frank Beard}'s rhythm section. They get the blend of bluesy shuffles, gut-bucket rocking, and off-beat humor just right. {$ZZ Top}'s very identity comes from this earthy sound and songs as utterly infectious as {&"Waitin' for the Bus,"} {&"Jesus Just Left Chicago,"} {&"Move Me on Down the Line,"} and the {$John Lee Hooker} boogie {&"La Grange."} In a sense, they kept trying to remake this record from this point on -- what is {^Eliminator} if not {^Tres Hombres} with sequencers and synthesizers? -- but they never got it better than they did here. [The 2006 reissue of the album adds three live tracks: {&"Waitin' for the Bus,"} {&"Jesus Just Left Chicago,"} and {&"La Grange."}] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
