ZZ Top Album: “One Foot in the Blues”
 Description :
ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums, percussion).
<p>Includes liner notes by Bill Bentley.
<p>Although the band were known first and foremost as arena rockers by the late '90s, most longtime ZZ Top fans knew that the Texas trio's roots lay in blues, especially evident in the classic early '70s Warner's albums. ZZ Top's former record co-compiled 17 of the band's tastiest blues tracks from throughout the years, focusing on many long-lost and forgotten tracks that sound as vibrant today as they did when first recorded. You can't go wrong with such killer boogie-woogie as the album opener "Brown Sugar" (no relation to the Rolling Stones hit of the same name), the calm "Hot, Blue, and Righteous," or the latter-day rocker "My Head's in Mississippi," to name but several.

- Have Mercy Reverend Billy!
I am 50 yers old and been playing electric blues/rock most of my life. I know the real thing from the counterfeit, and Billy Gibbons is the "real thang!" When ZZ Top first started becoming popular I was playing in the Memphis tennessee club circuit and the word was getting around about this little blues band from Texas that had been gigging in the area which featured a really hot lead guitarist. When i saw them at the Memphis Coliseum I found out what people were talking about. That's the reputation that they had at the time........hot and funky texas blues. I'm glad this CD was released because it is a good picture of where the band seemed to be heading in the early days. The CD is worth the price paid just for the first three songs alone. Billy Gibbons can play the blues! Nuff said! Customer review - May 02, 2001

- Rockin' Blues Roots
This CD is a fabulous compilation of that slightly off-kilter Southern rock/blues that distinguishes ZZ-Top from all other rock bands. These boys have a righteous appreciation of the music that built their unique sound. This is a "must have" CD for all rock/blues fans. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- '80s remixes - NOT the originals!
This is a compilation of tracks from ZZ Top's first 7 albums. BEWARE! These are the REMIXED versions with added reverb, etc. that first appeared in the '80s. They are NOT the "Original LP Versions" as claimed in the track list. Listen to the track samples to confirm this. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
