“With a formula that began a serious legacy, ‘ZZ Top’s First Album’ introduced the Texan trio as one of the best blues-rock acts in history.
Released on 16 January 1971, it established a blueprint that would serve the trio well for the next 50 years, and make them possibly the most enduring and successful blues-rock band of all time.”
With ZZ Top announcing plans for their 2025 Elevation tour of Australia and New Zealand, I’ll be taking a deep dive into the bands earliest released in the months leading up to their arrival in April. This week, their debut ZZ Tops First Album.
Plus new releases from Charlie Musselwhite, Ruthie Foster, Tommy Castro, Eric Bibb, Eli “Paper Boy” Reed, Frank Bey, Early James, Bob Corritore, Vanessa Collier, Ian Siegal & Johnny Mastro.
