Fandango
1975
Favorite tracks: Thunderbird, Backdoor Medley, Heard It On the X
Sleeper tracks: Mexican Blackbird, Tush
Before Billy Gibbons discovered drum machines and synthesizers, ZZ Top was a pretty kick ass band.
This was the first ZZ Top album I owned. It was my parents but I listened to it enough to call it my own. I loved "Backdoor Medley". The live songs are really tight. Frank Beard's drumming is awesome and for the longest time I wondered why it wasn't that good during the 80s albums (see drum machine comment). Heard It On the X is my favorite studio cut of ZZ Top's. Great guitar, bass and drum song with cool licks. I would be happy if I didn't hear Tush again.
