Blues first came out in the early 1910's and 1920's, and it was played by black people. The African Americans were slaves. They had problems, and they had been depressed and opressed ever since they came here and every perk they had was ruined by the white man. Blues was no exception. Men like Eric Clapton stole it from them. Anyway, one of the bands that stole blues was ZZ Top, some guys who really loved and they truly appreciated the blues. They weren't thieves like Clapton or Renkelman or any of the other famed guitarists of the late sixties. ZZ Top were just some good 'ol boys who liked to jam. They knew they ripped off the browns, and they acknowledged it forever, and they embraced the passion.
In 1971, they made First Album, an album of pure blues. Billy Gibbons plays his guitar like a true and undoubted virtuoso. His guitar is like a slice of pizza, and the way he plays it is like a guy eating the pizza, slowly enjoying every square and pure centimeter of cheese; pure Italian cheese and the freshly-sliced pepperoni, melting and crunching in every bite, with the taste of fresh crust, thrown in the air and sprinkled with freshly squeezed tomato sauce. The way Billy Gibbons plays is no Domino's; no Papa JOhn's, Billy Gibbons plays his guitar like authentic Chicago deep-dish, or original Ray's pizza in the heart of the hustle and bustle of New York.
Dusty Hill is Hank Hill's cousin, and Frank Beard drums like a lovely, lonesome blues maniac, sitting at a train station in the early 1920's, weeping and moaning on his drums over the opression of slavery and the pure hatred experienced by the black man in the olden days; a pure evil that was never experienced by the white man, yet the tuneful drumming of Frank Beard truly lets us know that the inevitable black uprising is soon. The bell will toll.
3.5/5
