Each Foot in a Different Past--ZZ Top & "Antenna"

Wasn\'t "Antenna," ZZ Top\'s 10th studio album, supposed to be a return to form? On this episode I argue that it is and it isn\'t; that is, that while Billy Gibbons on guitar did get back to those early ZZ Top records, the production and especially the drum sound are right out of the 1980s factory. It\'s not bad per se, but maybe not the match of either previous era. (And if you\'re wondering why I never mention "Deguello" despite it being my favorite ZZ Top album, it\'s because I wasn\'t confident I could ever get the pronunciation right. "Tres Hombres" was tough enough.)  I hit on new releases that have piqued my interest too.
