Description

ZZ Top’s smash hit 1983 album Eliminator features the classic hits “Gimme All Your Lovin”, “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Legs”.This American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of Billy Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and Frank Beard (drums). They were formed in 1970 in and around Houston from rival bands the Moving Sidewalks (Gibbons) and American Blues (Hill and Beard). Their first two albums reflected the strong blues roots and Texas humor of the band. Their third album, Tres Hom
es gained them national attention with the hit “La Grange”, a signature riff tune to this day, based on John Lee Hooker’s “Boogie Chillen”. Their success continued unabated throughout the ’70s, culminating with the year-and-a-half-long Worldwide Texas Tour.By the time Eliminator came out, ZZ Top had successfully harnessed the potential of synthesizers to their patented grungy blues groove, giving their material a more contemporary edge while retaining their patented Texas style. Now sporting long beards, golf hats, and boiler suits, they met the emerging video age head-on, reducing their “message” to simple iconography.Exclusive 40th Anniversary GOLD NUGGET vinyl produced by Warner Records for Rhino’s 2023 ‘Start Your Ear Off Right’ campaign.TRACKLISTING:SIDE A1.
