ZZ Top is a power trio from Texas, the antithesis to Rush. While Rush meanders in the realm of fairies and Tom Sawyer with intricate arrangements of music (sic), ZZ Top boogies hard truth using mucky Texan swamp blues, at least they did in the 1970s.
I love the twofer. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “With A Little Help From My Friends” is my favorite. A twofer is two songs that segue into one another and never sounds quite right by itself.
It was 50 years ago today, give or take a month or two, “Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play”. To be precise, it was released in the US on June 2nd, 1967, one week after the UK release. It is believed that “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” kicked off the summer of love. Okay.
