0525. ZZ Top
Tres Hombres

So, an album that boasts two hits about binge drinking and buying women, you say?
I can't help but think that this is yet another album by yet another band that sounds so very much better if you just cant understand what the hell they're singing.

So, I'll try to block it out for a while then.
The blues-rock they play is in many ways pretty standard, but here and there it gleams, like in Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers and their first really successful single: La Grange, about the (in)famous "best little whorehouse in Texas". La Grange's got one of the best blues rhythms of the album (although "borrowed" from Boogie Chillen), and everything after it just pales in comparison.

But then there's that nagging lyrical content...
