Philip Qvist: Not their best but still a very good album. Half live, half studio with a running time of around 35 mins, Fandango! starts off with a rousing live version of Thunderbird and ends of with their iconic single Tush. John Davidson: A tale of two sides. I'll be honest and say I really didn't find the live set on Side 1 all that interesting. Fairly standard blues covers with some unusual vocal work , but nothing that set my pulse racing. Side 2 however was great. Apple, Steve (September 13, 1973). "ZZ Top: Tres Hombres". Rolling Stone.

It's a hella short album (not a problem in itself) but this is going to be hard to score. Rotman, Natalie (January 23, 2010). "O'Brien ends run on 'Tonight' show after 7 months" (Press release).

In short, just because it is a ZZ Top release and it contains Blue Jean Blues, Heard It On The X and Tush it doesn't mean it deserves a great score. 5 out of 10 from me. In the late 80s, after the colossal successes of Eliminator and Afterburner, Warner Records made the decision to reissue all ZZ Top's London-era albums on CD for the first time. Sounds great, only an immense spanner ended up getting thrown into the works. See, some genius there had the bright idea of also giving those older albums a sonic makeover, adding extra reverb and echo to the drum sound in particular. I guess the thinking was that these 'enhanced' new versions would resonate better with younger fans of the band, only familiar with the then current, synthesised, Eliminator-era Top.

Fandango! é o quarto álbum de estúdio da banda ZZ Top, lançado em 1975 metade ao vivo e metade de estúdio. Desde o álbum anterior, Tres Hombres, a banda obteve um sucedido crescimento em termos de público e vendagens, atingindo o ápice com Fandango!. A faixa "Tush" foi o single da vez, e fez muito sucesso, aparecendo na trilha sonora de vários filmes, dentre eles, o adolescente e rebelde Dazed and Confused de 1976. (pt) While Fandango! has a lot going for it, and it's an entertaining and fun listen, in the end, it's just an album with two songs on it, good enough, that I would record them to make a mix tape. So it is like a carnival, It was fun but I forgot most of it. Miller, Jim (July 3, 1975). "ZZ Top: Fandango!". Rolling Stone. Archived from the original on November 12, 2007.While the fandango is generally defined, according to Merriam-Webster, as a “lively Spanish or Spanish-American dance in triple time that is usually performed by a man and a woman to the accompaniment of guitar and castanets,” it can also mean just simple “tomfoolery.” While ZZ Top have never really been known to play anything close to resembling music that would inspire a fandango as defined in the former, they definitely have been known to engage in the latter. The live/studio flip is just so jarring that it screams to me “contractual obligation” and makes Fandango! a difficult album to rate. But there’s enough quality and swagger to get me to a seven. In the late 1980s the album was released on CD with the studio recordings being digitally remixed and the original 1975 mix version was discontinued. The remix version created controversy among fans because it significantly changed the sound of the instruments, especially the drums. [ citation needed] The remix version was used on all early CD copies and was the only version available for over 20 years.

But side 2? Every one a pearl. A classic in the Smoke On The Water list of classics in Tush. Blue Jean Blues will set me off as Rough Boy does perfectly now. This second side built the bridge to Tejas.In July 2021, Hill was forced to leave a tour after a hip injury. ZZ Top performed without him at the Village Commons in New Lenox, Illinois, with Hill's guitar tech Elwood Francis on bass. [54] Five days later, on July 28, ZZ Top announced that Hill had died at his home in Houston at the age of 72. [55] His wife later reported that he had suffered from chronic bursitis. [56] Per Hill's wishes, ZZ Top continued with Francis on bass. [54] Hill had already recorded bass and vocals for ZZ Top's upcoming album. [57]
