In addition, the work features two bonus tracks: “Salt Lick” and “Miller Farm,” a single and a b-side, respectively, that were recorded in 1969 by the original lineup of ZZ Top.
Hear the album below:
ZZ Top was in 1969 in Houston, Texas. The band has, since 1970, consisted of vocalist/guitarist Billy Gibbons (the band’s leader, main lyricist and musical arranger), bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard. “As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers”, according to critic Michael “Cub” Koda. “Gibbons is one of America’s finest blues guitarists working in the arena rock idiom […] while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support.”
