Description
ZZ Top / Rio Grand Mud - Warner Bros. Records BSK-3269 (1972re) (US) ...This auction is for a factory sealed, early issue Record pressing on (US) vinyl.
Rio Grande Mud is the first flowering of ZZ Top as a great, down-n-dirty blooze rock band. With their second album, ZZ Top uses the sound they sketched out on their debut as a blueprint, yet they tweak it in slight but important ways. The first difference is the heavier, more powerful sound, turning the boogie guitars into a locomotive force. The second difference is that they have a much better set of songs this time around.

Album Notes
ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums).
By its second release, 1972's RIO GRANDE MUD, ZZ Top was honing the tough blues rock hybrid that would make it a certified U.S. arena headliner by the mid-70's. While the album didn't spawn the big radio hits of its later releases such as "La Grange" and "Tush," RIO GRANDE MUD was another incredibly consistent and inspired ZZ Top classic.
Again, Billy Gibbons' guitar work is outstanding throughout, helping to spearhead such great cuts as the rugged opener "Francine," the gritty attitude of "Just Got Paid," the hyperactive "Ko Ko Blue," and one of the band's most melodic compositions up until this point, "Chevrolet." RIO GRANDE MUD remains one of ZZ Top's most underrated recordings.

...abnormally talented and resourceful.... [RIO GRANDE MUD] is a good album for people who enjoy uncompromising rock & roll at uncompromising volume...
