ZZ Top's First Album established their sound, attitude, and quirks. Simply put, it's a dirty little blues-rock record, filled with fuzzy guitars, barrelhouse rhythms, dirty jokes, and Texan slang. They have a ballsy sound that hits at gut level. "Somebody Else Been) Shaking Your Tree," "Backdoor Love Affair," "Brown Sugar," and "Goin' Down to Mexico" show that from their very first record on, ZZ Top was that lil' ol' blues band from Texas.
