Live from Texas (CD)
{Eagle Records – November 4, 2008}

On Nov 4th 2008 we’ll see an end to the presidential race that, like the Energizer bunny keeps going and going, and a mere seven weeks to Christmas. ZZ Top, the "little ol' band from Texas" will release a live CD with 15-song tracks in follow up to their hugely successful DVD released earlier this year. ZZ Top has enjoyed enormous success on a global scale since their breakthrough in the early seventies and then their groundbreaking albums in the mid-eighties. The track listing spans their career from early tracks such as "Waitin' For The Bus", "Just Got Paid" and the classic "La Grange", through their eighties blockbusters including "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Legs". Unfortunately, recent hit "Pin Cushion" was left of the CD. Same songs, this time live.

1) Got Me Under Pressure
2) Waitin' For The Bus
3) Jesus Just Left Chicago
4) I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
5) Cheap Sunglasses
6) Pearl Necklace
7) Just Got Paid

From the gritty guitar that ranges from funky to all out blisterin’ rock this Texas trio gives all viewers a darn good time. Live From Texas is filled with the kind of Southern Fried sizzle ZZ Top is world-famous for. Live From Texas features 15 barnburners of blues, barrelhouse boogie and deliciously fuzz-toned hard rock. These three, singer, guitarist and frontman Billy F. Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard make up one of the most recognizable bands in rock history, they’ve been together since 1969 and are inductees in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2004). For the bluesier side dig their 1994 release One Foot In The Blues.
