“This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas was formed in 1970 in andaround Houston from rival bands. Their first two albums reflected the strongblues roots and Texas humor of the band. Their success continued unabatedthroughout the ’70s, culminating with the year-and-a-half-long Worldwide TexasTour” – AllMusic
“It’s fair to say that this is a transitional record, although I’m not reallysure what we were transitioning from and what we were becoming. (laughs) It maybe representative of how rapidly things were changing in the studio.
“The equipment was becoming more modernized, and the way that music was beingrecorded was different things were moving faster. It was still pre-digital,but there was better gear that was more readily available. We made use of itall.
“This period was the wrinkle that kind of suggested what was to come, and changewould become a necessary part of the ZZ Top fabric.” – Billy GIbbons
