Z Z Top - Rio Grande Mud

Review by skyees discount shopping

Rio Grande Mud is the second studio album by American blues rock band ZZ Top, released in 1972. The album features the classic ZZ Top sound, with Billy Gibbons' gritty guitar riffs and signature bluesy vocals. The album is a mix of blues, rock and roll, and country influences, with highlights including the catchy "Francine" and the slow bluesy groove of "Just Got Paid".

The album opens with "Francine", a bluesy rock and roll number with a catchy chorus and Gibbons' signature guitar work. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which features a mix of hard-driving rockers and slower blues numbers. "Just Got Paid" is a standout track, with its slow, bluesy groove and Gibbons' soulful vocals. The song builds to a powerful crescendo, with Gibbons' guitar work reaching new heights.

Other standout tracks include "Mushmouth Shoutin'", a bluesy number with a driving beat and catchy chorus, and "Ko Ko Blue", a hard-driving blues rocker with a killer guitar solo. The album closes with "Apologies to Pearly", a slow, mournful blues number that showcases Gibbons' soulful vocals.

About Z Z Top

ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. The band consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard and bassist and co-lead vocalist Dusty Hill who is replaced (to Dusty's wishes) by former basstechnician Elwod Francis after Hills death july 28 2021. The band and its members went through several reconfigurations throughout 1969, achieving their current form when Hill replaced bassist Billy Etheridge in February 1970, shortly before the band was signed to London Records. Etheridge's departure issued primarily from his unwillingness to be bound by a recording contract. Since the release of the band's debut album in January 1971, ZZ Top has become known for its strong blues roots and humorous lyrical motifs, relying heavily on double entendres and innuendo. ZZ Top's musical style has changed over the years, beginning with blues-inspired rock on their early albums, then incorporating New Wave, punk rock and dance-rock, with heavy use of synthesizers. ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. As a group, ZZ Top possesses 11 gold records and 7 platinum (13 multi-platinum) records; their 1983 album, Eliminator, remains the group's most commercially successful record, selling over 10 million units. ZZ Top also ranks 80th in U.S. album sales, with 25 million units.
