ZZ Tops First Album (1971)
Ep5: ZZ Top's First Album (1971)\nThe Birth Of Texas Blues Rock\nThe roots of rock and roll run deep into the fabric of southern blues.\xa0 Early power guitar pioneers such as Bo Diddley, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Freddie King, and of course, BB King, paved the way for the 60\u2019s rock gods like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix. \xa0\n\nIronically, it was the British rockers emulating American blues that inspired a totally new generation of power guitar shredders in the next generation of musicians.\xa0 In the second substantial wave of American rock and roll, one little group from Texas blasted their way into the world by taking those simple blues concepts and turning them into pure electric sex and adrenaline with the dusty feel of a south Texas border bar where fights and broken glass were part of the culture as much as the music. \xa0\n\nToday we go El Loco thru into the Rio Grande Mud with the Tres Hombres from Tejas, and have a Fandango Afterburner on ZZ Top\u2019s First Album.\nListen In Your Browser\n\n\n\nListen to Ep5 On Your Favorite Podcast Platform\n\n \t \ticon-itunes\t\t\t\nApple Podcasts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.s{fill:none;stroke:#181413;stroke-linecap:round;}\n\t\t\t\nSpotify\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.pill{fill:none;stroke-width:4;stroke-linecap:round;}\n \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t \t\t\t\t\nGoogle\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t.st0{fill:#14D8CC;}\n\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\n\n\nTuneIn\n\n\t\t\t\nStitcher\n\niHeartRadio logo\t\t\t\nIHeartRadio\n\n\t\t\t\nAndroid\nHear\nZZ Top's First Album\n\nZZ Top's First Album\n\n\nBuy ZZ Tops First Album\n\nShow Notes & Meta\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPotentially Pearly Gates\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nDusty and Billy with Pearly Gates\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nRobin Hood Studios\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nCheck the amplifier stacks\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nDusty, Frank, Billy\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nBilly and Pearly Gates\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\nRev.
