SELECTIONS FROM: ZZ TOP / TRES HOMBRES
|
Before ZZ Top became global superstars – synonymous with infectious boogie rock, fast cars, beautiful women, synchronized hand gestures and bodacious beards – they were just three men from Texas.Tres Hombres. Three blues men, to be precise, whose third album proved to be their commercial breakthrough. Everything came together for the band on July 26, 1973, with the release of Tres Hombres: the irresistible stripped-down songs, the cheeky sense of humor and even the unapologetic Texan image, which helped set ZZ Top apart from other Gulf Coast rock bands (like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band) that were defining Southern rock at the time. Tres Hombres is, in many ways, the prototypical ZZ Top album, the one they'd try to live up to for the rest of their career. Quintessential ZZ Top.
