The Very Best of Zz Top: Rancho Texicano by ZZ Top (CD, Jun-2004, 2 Discs, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

The track listing of this 2 CD set of the 3 long bearded, Texas rock royalty, says it all: they aren't afraid to write, sing, and play like typical American men with a very healthy variety of appetites! I bought this 2 CD set for one song: "La Grange." But then, there's "Cheap Sun Glasses"! "Legs." "Tube Snake Boogey." "I'm Bad -- I'm Nationwide." All Tex-mexy rock classics to clean house by or ride the '81 280 ZX with the T-Tops down. Read on:

Who are ZZ Top:
Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar, fiddle, harmonica, baritone saxophone, keyboards).

Frank Beard (appropriately named!)(vocals, alto saxophone, drums, percussion).

Dusty Hill (vocals, tenor saxophone, keyboards, bass guitar).

When I first heard them live, inside, I freaked out not knowing that only 3 guys made that much music! They're among my favorites. If you want the real best collection of ZZ Top, this is it.
