Our Take

ZZ TOP's latest album, Mescalero, is a pure rock 'n' roll adrenaline rush that proves these veterans still have what it takes to get your head banging and your feet tapping.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're transported to a smoky bar in Texas, surrounded by leather-clad bikers and cheap beer. The gritty vocals and blistering guitar solos are as sharp as ever, proving that age hasn't dulled the band's edge.

Tracks like "Buck Nekkid" and "Neighbor, Neighbor" showcase ZZ TOP's signature bluesy sound, while songs like "Liquor" and "As Time Goes By" explore more introspective themes, showing a depth to the band that isn't always apparent on first listen.

But what really sets Mescalero apart is its sense of humour. ZZ TOP don't take themselves too seriously, and it shows in tracks like "What Would You Do" and "Crunchy". The band's playful attitude is infectious, making it impossible not to crack a smile while listening.

Overall, Mescalero is a solid addition to ZZ TOP's discography, proving that these old dogs still have some tricks up their sleeves. So grab a bottle of tequila, crank up the volume, and let the music take you on a wild ride. ZZ TOP are back, and they're here to rock your socks off.

ZZ Top

ZZ Top: From Wild Beards to Even Wilder Blues Licks In the vast and ever-evolving music landscape, few bands have managed to define the essence of rock 'n' roll quite like ZZ Top. Formed in Houston, Texas in 1969, this trio of bearded wonders - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard - have been serving up their signature blend of bluesy rock for over five decades, leaving audiences enraptured and critics dazzled. With their iconic beards and penchant for rocking shades, ZZ Top have carved out a unique niche in the music world, blending elements of southern boogie-woogie with gritty blues riffs and catchy hooks. Their live performances are like a shot of pure adrenaline, with Gibbons' searing guitar solos and Hill's thunderous bass lines creating a sonic whirlwind that leaves fans clamouring for more. From their breakthrough hits like "La Grange" and "Sharp Dressed Man" to their more recent offerings like "I Gotsta Get Paid," ZZ Top have consistently delivered the goods, proving that age is no barrier to creating kick-ass rock 'n' roll. Their music is a testament to the enduring power of the blues, with each note dripping with emotion and raw energy. So if you're looking for a band that's equal parts badass and brilliant, look no further than ZZ Top. These bearded legends have stood the test of time, and their music continues to captivate and inspire generations of fans. In a world of fleeting trends and ever-changing tastes, ZZ Top remain a steadfast beacon of rock 'n' roll, reminding us all that sometimes, the classics really do know best.
