ZZ Top

classic-rockblues-rocktexas-bluesboogie

ZZ Top formed in Houston in 1969 and built a blues-rock sound rooted in the Texas tradition that they eventually pushed into MTV-era arena rock without losing its essential grit. Billy Gibbons is one of the most tonally distinctive guitarists in rock history. Tres Hombres and Eliminator are the pillars of their catalog — one raw, one slick, both undeniably them.
