Tres Hombres is a showcase of everything that is magnificent about the group -- and the inclusion of the huge hit "La Grange" with its infectious electric boogie shuffle is only part of that story. In fact, "La Grange," based around a grinding guitar riff so simple yet so inspired that you will never forget it, is atypical for its mumbling novelty vocal. "Precious and Grace" -- a song about picking up a couple of hitch-hiking women who turn out to be ex-cons -- mixes a great Led Zep-styled riff in the verse with a ripsnorting near-psychedelic chorus. The two devices come together seamlessly. "Move Me On Down the Line" is a snappy boogie that sounds indebted to post-Cream Jack Bruce. "Jesus Just Left Chicago" is another gem of a track, fluid and apparently effortless. The incredible "Master of Sparks" concerns a fine Texas tradition, the habit of kickin' your buddies off the back of a speeding pickup just for the heck of it.
The cover of the album -- the original vinyl is a gatefold that opens on a garish photograph of the Mexican dish after which the record is named -- says it all, really, though the oblique cover shots of the threesome hide the fact that these guys were only in their mid-twenties. This band plays slow-drawl blues that cook up into an electric storm. The vocals are raw and edgy; the guitar breaks blaze with energy and there is often an Indian insistence in the repetitive breaks of the drums. This Texas band plays with a confidence and most assuredly which is ingratiating. It's nice to hear a vocal clearly with the supporting instruments playing in proper perspective. This trio represents one facet of contemporary rock where the vocals and the guitar solos are billed equally. The blues solos have a soaring flavor, but then for contrast they wait gently when the tempos get down easy. There is some nice gentle three-part harmonies from Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Rube Beard which add another dimension to their music...Billy Gibbons plays a tasty Duane Allman lead with Dusty Hill and Frank Beard pounding out the funky bottom.
