It's been more than a decade since these highly authentic and influential blues/Southern/boogie rock Ancients have emerged to resonate a full length sonic declaration, and the trio brings smoke, chrome and eminent bluesy chops, coming forth with a release that sounds to have a relentless and superbly natural desire to submit to the ZZ Top kind of music with True Love and True Blood, as about 101% of this record would serve more than highly suitable as the eloquent and expressive sonic backdrop to compliment a busy day at Merlott's.
The music of ZZ Top wasn't ever in the need of evolution, IS not in the need for it at all, and won't ever give a dime with two lost holes in it for pondering the possibility of evolution, as ZZ Top always delivered a character of music that has reached its full value timeless potential at day 1, already. The members of this band always have did what they want to do right here, right now, and this is none other than to offer 39 minutes of fresh variation on the music that grew practically immortal the day it first began to connect with the heart, courtesy of its ability to render a woman, armed with a perfect body and sporting the head of a crocodile.
ZZ Top still is ultra-original in the sense that it is sufficient to hear none other than 1.5 seconds of Billy Gibbons' guitar playing to call out : "hey, this is Billy fucking Gibbons riffing!" -second track, "Chartreuse" is a good example of this. By the 1.5th second of the song, you know without any doubt whatsoever that it is a new ZZ Top track, and this equates musical excitement in my book, and I'm pretty sure it equates that in yours, too. Read on to find out more about the spin.
