New mixes PLEASE!,

This review is from: Rancho Texicano: The Very Best of ZZ Top (2CD) (Audio CD)
I have been a ZZ Top fan since high school over 25 years ago, so it's very hard to give this set only three stars. It must be done however, because there is absolutely nothing new on this CD. Now I'm all for "Best Of" works, but ZZ Top has produced too many (5 is my count), and I am against continually repackaging the same old fare in order to generate sales.After 35 years as a band, ZZ Top has one hot catalog of tasty tunes. They should take advantage of this by doing CDs featuring remixes, new recordings of the classics, and live versions, along with hot covers and new works. Hopefully something will happen to light a fire under the little ole band from Texas. I wonder if Rick Rubens would like a new project...

This review is from: Rancho Texicano: The Very Best of ZZ Top (2CD) (Audio CD)
I first took notice of ZZ Top just a couple years ago. A country music fan for sixteen years (all my life, up to that point), I jumped at a new album that came out: SHARP DRESSED MEN, a tribute to a band called ZZ Top. I bought the album, enjoyed the songs...bought ZZ Top's GREATEST HITS...and became a fan.I'm from Central Illinois. Every now and then, I get a little notice of the music that goes on in Texas. Now, I can't begin to touch the entire iceberg (let's face it, I'm from a rural farming county), or even get ahold of it's tip. I know I'm not a thirty-five year ZZ Top fan. But that doesn't mean I don't like these guys, or respect the awesome talent they have. RANCHO TEXICANO collects some incredible tunes (what I'm guessing is ZZ Top's best). From the haunting blues (evident throughout the album, really) of "Brown Sugar" and "Just Got Paid" and "Blue Jean Blues," to the sexually charged "La Grange," "I Thank You," "Tush," "Legs" (oh, what a classic that one is!), and "Tube Snake Boogie," these songs are classic rock n rollers with a mix of everything else. You want trend-setting rockers? How about "Francene," "Heard It on the X," "Cheap Sunglasses," "Gimme All Your Lovin," and "Velcro Fly" (this last one got immortalized in Stephen King's epic novel, "The Wastelands"). Well, let's face it: you know who ZZ Top is. Maybe you aren't as familiar with their music as you want to be (or should be), but you know the name and you know the look. They're icons--and that's a lot to be said for three guys who just play their simple rock/blues songs. Whether you like rock, punk, pop, country, or blues, ZZ Top has something for you--probably because they started the damned thing! Buy RANCHO TEXICANO, give it a listen, and then look me in the eye and say that ZZ Top isn't one of the best bands out there. If you can do it, I'll personally refund your expenses.

Four Flat Tires on A Muddy Road,
By manuel trevino (Corpus Christi,Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rancho Texicano: The Very Best of ZZ Top (2CD) (Audio CD)
Ladies and Gentlemen,I am just a simple rancher from South Texas,who was raised on Padre Island...Bob Hall Pier and Mustang Island, down around Corpus Christi,Texas.I was a high school student at Mary Carroll High School during the late 1970's...1978 was my graduating year.Music was so different back then,what War,Heart,Led Zeppelin,Lynard Skynard,Eric Clapton,George Harr- ison,Little Feat,Santana,The Allman Brothers,The Doobie Brothers ,Pink Floyd,The Eagles,and besides ZZ Top,my other favorite Band...Steely Dan.....we certainly had no shortage of great talent....and there were many,many more great acts touring back then. Now,the meat and potatoes of my short essay on The ZZ Top... It's very simple folks....in 1969,3 young Texas guys met in a small studio,and all of our lives were changed forever.Thirty Five years of recording and performing,and nary a complaint from this Texas Trio.Billy Gibbons on Guitar,Dusty Hill on Bass ,and Drummer Frank Beard have just finished 35 years on the road baby.Not until there 2003 tour,did they not have the same three guys...Frank had surgery,and missed 2 weeks;however,his drum technician was waiting in the wings,and they never missed a beat.My title reference refers to a question concerning the tone that ZZ Top was going for during the Tejas and Deguello sessions..."4 flat tires on a muddy road " was the answer Billy Gibbons gave.I recommend that you buy Rancho Texicano this morning,and if you're smart,you'll buy a backup package...the same way you buy insurance...Do you want to Blow your Top?
