421 – ZZ Top – Prettyhead
July 19, 2011

Talking about fuzz, this 1990s ZZ Top track has it in plentiful supply! Rhythmeen was a nasty and raw sounding record, much unlike their earlier overproduced and computer-y offerings.
Highly recommended!

245 - ZZ Top - Vincent Price Blues

What do you get when you use .08 strings on your electric guitar, tune it back to C and run it through a whole bunch of guitar effects? [[ZZ Top]]’s [[Vincent Price]] Blues.
There are tones and sounds in this one… I’d love to be able to play like this.

215 - ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin'

Ha, those were the days back in the 80s. Bad drum samples and processed guitars. Well, I guess it’s the same now, only the producers got better computers.
Still… this rocks! Compared to the other crap the eighties left us.

125 - ZZ Top - Just Got Paid Today

I realize there aren’t that much new songs on this here site. That’s gonna stay like that for a while, because I think there isn’t much really good material made nowadays.
[[ZZ Top]], the best little blues band from Texas, made some really tasty blues records in the early 1970s. Later on they lost it a bit by having too much electronics added.

Youtube – studio version with stills.
