ZZ Top's First Album

blues-rock

They have a good, ballsy sound that hits at gut level, and if the record's not entirely satisfying, it's because they're still learning how to craft records -- which means that they're still learning pacing as much as they're learning how to assemble a set of indelible material.

"(Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your Tree,"
"Backdoor Love Affair,"
"Brown Sugar,"
and
"Goin' Down to Mexico,"
among them -- show that from their very first record on,
ZZ Top
