ZZ Top is a prolific blues rock band that has enjoyed an incredible career for the past 50 years. The band emerged in 1969 with members Billy Gibbons, Frank Bear, Dan Mitchell, and Lanier Greg. Over the years, the band underwent a couple of line-up changes, the latest being the addition of Elwood Francis, who replaced their longtime bassist, the late Dusty Hill. The band released their debut album, ZZ Top’s First Album, in 1971. The record spawned the single “(Somebody Else Been) Shakin' Your Tree,” which possesses various influences, including southern rock, blues, boogie, and more.
In 1973, the band released their breakthrough album, Tres Hombres. The album featured the single “La Grange,” which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200. The album also spawned notable tracks, such as “Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers,” which was covered by acclaimed rock band Motorhead, and “Jesus Just Left Chicago,” which was covered by jam band Phish numerous times. After their breakthrough, ZZ Top released several more highly-acclaimed albums, including Fandango, El Loco, and De Guello. In 1983, they dominated the airwaves with hits from their eighth album, Eliminator. The critically-acclaimed effort spawned iconic singles “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Gimme All Your Lovin.”
