ZZ Top
Comment:
Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard weren’t born stompin’ the blues with those blackout shades and an aversion to the barber shop — well, maybe they were, but before starting ZZ Top, Gibbons got it on with the Moving Sidewalks, psychedelic rockers who turned heads in ’60s Houston. If you ever wondered what Hendrix would’ve sounded like if he’d been born a Longhorn, the Sidewalks’ trippy-but-tough “Crimson Witch” is your answer. But even on their fuzzed-out, organ-soaked hip-wiggler “You Make Me Shake” you can hear the Top sound taking shape. So when Gibbons sang “I got down with a fuzzbox” decades later on the rough-and-tumble stomp “Fuzzbox Voodoo,” you know it wasn’t just a passing fancy.
