ZZTop

ZZ Top combined blues, boogie and rock into a gritty, unmistakable sound, powered by tight grooves and signature guitar tones. Their style, humor and stage presence made them one of rock’s most enduring trios. This page features a curated selection of their memorable songs and performances. ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in Houston, Texas, in 1969. For 51 years, it consisted of vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard, and bassist-vocalist Dusty Hill until his death in 2021. ZZ Top developed a signature sound based on Gibbons’ blues style and Hill and Beard’s rhythm section. They are known for their live performances, sly and humorous lyrics, and the matching appearances of Gibbons and Hill, who wore sunglasses, hats, and long beards. ZZ Top formed after Gibbons’ band, Moving Sidewalks, disbanded in 1969. Within a year, they signed with London Records and released ZZ Top’s First Album in 1971. Albums Tres Hombres (1973) and Fandango! (1975), and singles “La Grange” and “Tush”, gained extensive radio airplay and have become staple tracks of classic rock radio. By the mid-1970s, ZZ Top had become renowned in North America for their live act, including the Worldwide Texas Tour (1976–77), which was a critical and commercial success. ZZ Top returned in 1979 with a new musical direction and image, with Gibbons and Hill wearing sunglasses and matching chest-length beards.
