Early ZZ Top was ALL about the blues. Later they got into electronica, but in the 70's they were all blues, all the time. Billy, Dusty and Frank, keeping it real. RIP Dust.
Blue Jean Blues, baby.....not a lot better :)
@@Newfie-zc7ug One of MY faves for sure.
Billy Gibbons said in the ZZ Top documentary the DC top never played the blues. They reinterpreted the Blues! I have never thought about it like that
Brad and Lex need to react to, "Tube Snake Boogie!"
@@bobschenkel7921 for me it's either this one or "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide"
"Jesus Just Left Chicago" is a tribute to an AM gospel radio station in Chicago whose signal reached all the way down south, "bound for New Orleans." That's per Billy, himself.
Incredible!
thanks!....
Cool! gold Star post.
Cool! I never heard that before.
"According to Billy Gibbons, he got the idea for this song when he was a teenager. He was talking on the phone to a friend who was known as "R&B Jr," who had lots of strange sayings in his lexicon. One day Billy was talking to him on the phone when he blurted out, 'Jesus Just Left Chicago!'"
I always thought it was about a drug dealer. A Christian song on the same album as a song about a whorehouse? I hardly think it was a Christian album. smh.
Texas blues at its best. Tres Hombres is one of my favorite albums ever.
Mine, too! I had it on 8-track and wore that mutha OUT!
🔥👏🔥👏🔥
Si
Funky and Bluesy. Texas style. Groove and grit.
just a little ol' band from Texas
My favorite ZZ Top song by far, “cuz takin’ care of business is His name.”
Love the bass line in both songs. Strong 💪
I second that emotion
One of the best rock songs to sing about religion positively out there. But to be truthful there are only a few contenders.
I third that emotion.
Omgggg-LITERALLY my favorite hook-EVER. And it's A gospel song to keep it real..
@@thewiseoldherper7047 There are TONS of positive songs out there.....Lots of songs by Black Sabbath alone are pro-Christianity.
One of the grooviest, funkiest, bluesiest, classic rock jams ever. FIRE
Hell yeah!!! 💯👍
"Muddy Waters into wine" was a shout out to an old great blues artist Muddy Waters, who was from the Mississippi Delta. A place that produced a lot of Blues music.
Got to see muddy waters at grant park in Chicago 79 or 80. Well, didn't really see unless you had a ticket for the band shell you only heard him. Beautiful afternoon weather sitting on the grass eating homemade burritos and drinking bad wine.
He moved to Chicago, call his blues the Chicago Blues, Muddy was the King of the electric blues, took Buddy Guy under his wing and raised another legend of the Blues!
Also, in the book of John, Jesus turned water into wine. So it is a play off that as well. Jesus is in Mississippi so he turned Muddy Water into wine. (Muddy Water's being the great blues player as mentioned above)
@@airwolf2001 But the origins of the music he "took to Chicago" came from the MS River Delta. None of that originated in Chicago. American music at its roots is Southern USA, all of the greats of original Rock in Roll were from Southern States (Elvis MS), Buddy Holly (Texas), Little Richard (GA), James Brown (GA), Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino (LA), Chuck Berry (MO), etc, etc, etc. I would argue the only place in the world that could have produced Elvis Pressley is the area he came from, rural MS sitting between Memphis, TN and New Orleans, LA.
@@palermotrapani9067 You forgot Pantera! Dallas Texas, and New Orleans Louisiana!
I came around the corner and the Metro had broken down. They herded everyone off and they were standing there waiting for another bus to come pick them up. At that very moment, (!), the radio began, "Waiting for the Bus..."
Perfect ZZ Top moment
I was lucky enough to see ZZ Top live four times in my life. This song was always a highlight every time that solo kicks in. RIP Dusty Hill, you played the bass like an old-school blues Man.
Seen them twice and lucky 4x!
My Heads in Mississippi and I’m Bad I’m Nationwide are excellent cuts too!!
Back when an album was an ALBUM. Damn what a record
Back then, there was nothing better than buying an album for the few songs you liked from the radio -- and a month later you love the whole frkng thing! Albums matter!!
As a Texan this is in my DNA. I have an irresistible urge to smoke a brisket now whilst drinking Shiner Bock.
Ooh wee love me some Shiner Bock. Really good beer.
@@romanmartinez6458
Heck, ya.
Yep. Love me that Shiner !!
Dusty just killin on the bass through the whole track
Every track , every time , always the backbone of ZZ Top.
@@orlandopacheco48 Always, man...always
This is a perfect example of old school ZZ Top before they hit it big.
Like the earlier stuff more
@@kennethmardis2132 Same. Their stuff in the eighties sucked...❤️
@@naudianeels1328 That was right on the boarder too , November 1979 Degüello was released , that was their last old school album IMO
It is what made them big
Nobody ever mentions them but beer drinkers & hell raisers, master of sparks two more great songs from this album. Beer drinkers great pre going out on the weekend song.
From Texas, Beer drinkers and hell raisers was my anthem for a party night.
Best opening one/two punch of any blues rock album
This is what people are talking about when they say they like the earlier bluesy ZZ Top, before they became the super band with the monster hits. I'd like to hear Arrested for Driving While Blind.
Out in the sticks on Highway 6
Muddy Waters is a great blues player. Born in Mississippi.
McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913 - April 30, 1983),[1][2] known professionally as Muddy Waters, was an American blues singer-songwriter and musician who was an important figure in the post-war blues scene, and is often cited as the "father of modern Chicago blues".[3] His style of playing has been described as "raining down Delta beatitude".[4]
"I could totally see these vocals put right over blues instruments." That's some funny stuff right there.
Haven’t listened to this in ages…. I forgot how much I loved this
Have mercy! I remember those days of riding the big Gray Dog up and down I-26 and I-85 cause I was too poor to have a car, yet I was ready to roam and see my college friends during the summer break scattered about the state. LOL. I once took a very, very, very long ride on the Gray Dog from Opelousas, LA, to Columbia, SC, after quitting a summer job of trying to sell Protestant Bibles in southern Catholic Louisiana. LOL. Lesson learned, Friends.
Try their song called I THANK YOU🎸the guitarist is Billy gibbons, his dad took him to an Elvis Presley concert at 5 years old and his mom took him to see BB KING at 7 years old , and he also got his start as an opening act for JIMI HENDRIX 🎸 BILLY IS A LEGEND
Billy Gibbons was one of Jimi's favorite guitarists.
My era music, take me back Jesus. Still laughing when you guys switched places and Lex had that dirty look and Brad was dancing. Comedy Central.
Texas rock lets gooooooooo!!!!. Try My heads in mississippi.
WooHooo, one of my favs, thanks kids!! Love how the song uses Cadillac as a verb "till I Cadillac"
Just love the ‘Southern Rock’ groove these three produce. Thanks Brad n Lex.
David Eberhart ---- that's not really Southern Rock, it is but it isn't. Texas blues is more guitar heavy, more swing and jazz influenced, it has more groove than Delta Blues or Chicago. But even Chicago got a lot of it's blues influence, the jazzier style, from Texas Blues. Texas Blues, is ZZTop, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, Fabulous Thunderbirds, TBone Walker, Johnny Winter, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and other blues legends from all the way back in the 1920s and 30s
@@13_13k, some Southern Rock influence, but with the heart of it being Texas Blues, for sure.
Now that you're into ZZ Top blues you have to try "Fool for your Stockings". So smooth.
My favorite ZZ Top song.
I've been asking for" Fooled for your stocking" since I first started watching these reactors, still NOTHING 👎😔
I second this! My favorite song of theirs!
@@emilymartinez6961 I've been asking too. Apparently we don't know what we're talking about. I can't find ANY reaction to "Fool for your Stockings" on YT. Lots of covers but no reactions.
@@mikegoin6023 It's up there for me too, along with the entire Tres Hombres album.
" I can see his voice being put over the blues". My man, this IS the BLUES.
You two have to find the closest blues club and go, you'll love it. I know Lex will.
I'm from the Houston area where ZZ started ! They were just playing some clubs.before they got noticed by recording producer .great songs and reactions guys.
Love these guys!! Fifth generation Texas girl right here. I am the 2nd generation in my family to love ZZ Top, and my sons are the 3rd. My aunt and I went to see them in Dallas in 2019 w/Bad Company. Even at that age they were killn it. As you can imagine, the audience reaction was phenomenal, considering they are that Little ol band from Texas. Excellent reaction.
CLASSIC ZZ Top blues rock! You can't go wrong with this GOAT band!
This is really the only ZZ Top album you need. None of the others even come close.
I love the way she disribed ,what she is feeling! It's great.
Hear how the Rev puts about 14 syllables into New Orleans
Early ZZ Top, raw, gritty, and great music! Later became more mainstream, still good. Just Got Paid and Cheap Sunglasses are also worth a reaction.
And "Heard it on the X" is awesome too
I second Just Got Paid!
Brad looks like he’s always watching the screen waiting for lyrics, while Lex is just groovin’, feelin’ it…
It doesn't get much more pure Blues Rock than ZZ Top. Somehow I imagine a bar with 30 Harley Davidson Hogs parked in front of it and inside people are listen to the juke box singing about a bus ride!
RIP Dusty. Glad you guys picked this track. Top shelf ZZ Top in their prime.
I'm old enough to remember when no one knew who ZZ Top was. A San Antonio DJ mentioned bands coming to town for the weekend & ZZ Top was one. He said "I heard some people in Houston like this band. I may stop by & listen." Must have been about 1970-71.
1st off, you're old. Ha Ha Ha !!!! 2nd, that's awesome. One of my all time favorites since about 1978. ( Im old too, just not THAT old. Ha Ha Ha!)
Right on. Been on them from the beginning as well. 1st 4 albums are still amazing.
I was one of those people in Houston that thought they were pretty good, saw them 7 times, only other band I saw that much was Marshal Tucker
@@jackolson8775 Hopefully, you'll be old someday, too. Ha Ha Ha!!!😋
This song reminds me of a guitarist named Steve in a classic rock cover band with older mexican guys I joined in El Paso Texas when I was 17 and we played this every gig at a local bar on the outskirts. I auditioned for them as a 2nd guitarist and my first band, he was the nicest guitarist in El Paso. He died last year of diabetes. RIP Steve
Opening riff is so great recognizable, all time best song.
Oh man, these have got to be two of my favorite songs of their's (always have to be played together). If you guys come back to them, Blue Jean Blues is another great song. Also these songs were definitely not blues influenced, they're just straight blues!
Absolutely to "Blue Jean Blues". As fine a sample of Blues as BB King playing "The Thrill is Gone" or Robert Johnson or Leadbelly doing . . .anydamnthingatall. Study the Blues, Americas contribution to world culture (and breakfast tacos, but that's another story). The Blues is the wellspring from which everything modern evolved.
No one ever reacts to blue Jean blues....or brown sugar, or 2000 blues
@@mikemclaughlin3306
Or "Mexican Blackbird"
Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus 'til I Cadillac .. always liked that line 👍 (check out "Hot, Blue and Righteous")
One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. The Lil ol’ band from Texas. Have mercy!
I just saw ZZTOP 6-21-22 in Colorado USA and they were Fabulous still.
Fun Concert🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼3 Master Musicians and they played these 2 great tunes.🤘😎
ZZ Top is the truth. The old stuff they never miss. The newer stuff is still dope but less raw more commercial and synth.
Edit > try "brown sugar" next. That song jams
MUST DO BROWN SUGAR!!! GREAT SONG!!!
Okay. Calling it "more commercial" is an absolute disgrace. Every single album that has ever been recorded and released through a label is commercial, since the goal is about selling the music. Their later stuff is not any bit more commercial than any other of their albums. All they did was update and change their sound a bit with new technologies in mind, as did Tom Petty and Pink Floyd. Im sorry but absolutely the wrong word to use here.
@@DonHaka ummmmm...... that, sir, might just be the worst ZZ TOP take on the internet. If you don't think , sleeping bag is a much ore commercial/ radio friendly song than anything in the 70's, you don't listen to ZZTOP.
It's all good man he's entitled to his opinion. I'm in my 50s and have been a fan of ZZ Top forever.
I don't think it demeans the quality of their catalog one bit to say that the newer sound they pursued ...... especially in the 80's..... was aimed at getting their music into the ears of more people...... so what?
I STILL jam out to "Delirious" off of Afterburner all the time.
I enjoyed "Gotsta Get Paid" a LOT though....... felt like a return to older form to me. Billy's tone was sick.
RIP Dusty.
How about Just got back from Babys!
"Beer Drinkers and he'll raisers"!!!
Brad & Lex, Their "Gimme All Your Lovin' " & "Legs" are next for you!!
They should do the pre synth zz top stuff way better imo
Amen start at the beginning with Brown Sugar! Cheers
Love this song (2nd Pt). Jesus done left Chicago with that blues riff .
Yeah,I was 15 years old when this album came out. It was like nothing I had ever heard before, still one of my favorites.
Peak ZZ Top. Before they went pop.
"I Thank You" by ZZTop needs to be on your list
Sam & Dave!
Love the way Lex gets into the groove.
Thank you for playing the two songs together.
It's what nature intended.
Billy Gibons & ZZ Top are the baddest Texas Bluesmen to ever live! The raw power that lil trio could unleash upon unexpecting crowds in smokey honkey tonks across the US in the 1970's-throughout the 80's is Legendary! Hail ZZ Top, an American Icon. Please react ot "Brown Sugar!" You guys will Looove it.
Now you have to listen to Blue Jeans Blues. It fits right in with these two. ZZ Top plays “Texas Blues”.
The beginning of "Jesus Just Left Chigago" reminds me so much of ACDC's "Ride On" (which was released about 3 years after the ZZ TOP song.).
Santana has a song called "Fried Neckbones" from Woodstock in 1969, it's on youtube but it has just one still image of him and the bass player
Have faith because Jesus is on it
Thank you for playing the original version with no separation between the songs.
They have so many great songs, I hope you give us more.
Brad's comment on EVERY-THING: "It's different, it's different"
That’s why I like 70s music, so many styles, all great music!
Try "Blue Jean Blues" or "Just Got Back from Baby's " for more blues from them
I grew up in Humboldt Co., CA, and this song reminds me of bud and beer at the beach in the summer. I have so many great memories, and ZZ Top was usually along for the tide.
I would love for you to hear “I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide”. What a cool song!
Love me some ZZ Top, but, these 2 are the cream of the crop!
I put their first 3 albums on a CD about 20yrs ago. It hasn't left my pickup since. Absolute gold!
I see that I must delve into ZZ Top more than I have previously, my friends. Thanks for this reaction.
What a rocking song my first semester in college, especially at the Squeeze-In Bar which had a phenomenal stereo system! One of the better songs ever to play foosball to!
Saw them in Amarillo, Tx in 1974 and they didn’t have beards back in those days!
This one was good to listen to in an outside concert at night while smokin weed. Very happy groove
I loved seeing ZZ Top and Sammy Hagar (Van Halen) at KSHE's 50th birthday party a few years ago (next time you're back in the Lou, tune into 94.7 on the radio ... You'd probably be familiar with a lot of the music).
KSHE-95 Real Rock Radio!
Love this!! The travel of the blues! Chicago Blues to Mississippi travel of the great blues!! Robert Johnson to Muddy Waters!
These songs were always played together on early FM AOR rock stations. Another pair always played together was Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker/Livin' Lovin' Maid.
3 bad boys from Texas. RIP Dusty it will never be the same
This song thicker than Mississippi mud! Best 1-2 punch in rocknroll.
Southern Rock, Allman Brothers and some other developed the triple Axe Attack. it became a standard. 3 Guitars, up front whaling away, nothing like it. I was there. Saw these gentlemen too, around 1977, impeccable showmen.
Yeeeeaaahhh!!!
Now we r gettin into the best era of ZZ. You want more of this vibe, then go with the 1st 4 albums...
*First Album
*Rio Grande Mud
*Tres Hombres
*Fandango
..later albums have some great stuff too. But these 4 albums are the crux!
I've heard it said that Billy Gibbons was Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarist, or at least WAY up on his list. Pretty high praise! And I met Billy and Dusty in the Hard Rock Cafe in Houston in the late 80's. Very cool and nice guys!
ALWAYS LOVE PLAYING DRUMS TO THOSE TWO SONGS...
Yeah ZZ top whisky shot In hand perfect !
Well done, as always. Thanks. For blues guitar playing at its finest, try the Allman Brothers "Statesboro Blues" live at Fillmore East, 1971. Hope all is well.
ZZ Top are cool. I saw them in person once. I think it was 1988. The Afterburner Tour.
The music of my youth. I used to go see them at the Balinese Room in Galveston Texas before they got famous!
Going to see ZZ in concert tonight 😁
Have a blast billy 🎶💯lucky you!
thats sounds epic
@ Billy Oliver - seriously, you're going to see ZZ tonight?! I thought they stopped playing after Dusty's passing.
Not the same without Good ol' Dusty.
@@wbishop1330 beyond my control
“Waiting On the Bus” is about a guy coming home from prison. “Got my brown paper bag and my take home pay”. That and a bus ticket is what you get.
One of their greatest. (2) Most newer generations miss the reference "Muddy Water turned to Wine" in Jesus just left Chicago. Muddy Waters is one of the kings of 40s-60s blues.
He went from Mississippi, to Memphis to Chicago to make it.
The blues always make me feel better,go figure. Great reaction
That's the real thing right there.
Saw these boys in 73. One of the best concerts that I have ever seen; to this day
I feel for today's youth and everyone else who didn't have this music as a Junior in High School. Consider where that led.
Tres Hombres is an absolute masterpiece. My fav is "Master of Sparks"
These two songs and Cheap Sunglasses are my quintessential ZZ Top.
2 perfect examples of a 12 bar blues progression.
Lex even gets the facial expressions that go with the music.
I love the contrast between the two of you when you react to almost anything. You're so different, yet you complement one another perfectly. I have to say, though: Lex has been teaching me a better way to listen to music. With rare exception, she just knows how to appreciate and enjoy whatever she happens to be listening to. This is a GREAT channel. Thank you. (and these older ZZ Top songs have always been their best)
What's up guys! Greetings from South Florida! These are two of my favorite ZZ Top songs. The way they blend into each other is really cool. ZZ Top is just really cool! You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
The blues nothing like the blues. It really is like your very soul starts crying
Saw them in concert about thirty years ago. Awesome show.
One of my favorite albums. Don't know how many times I've owned it, in one form or the other. And I'll buy it again if something happens to the copy I have now.
ZZ Top's early stuff up to Deguelo is my favorite era of their music. But can't complain about their later tunes either. Such a great band.
