By its second release, 1972's RIO GRANDE MUD, ZZ Top was honing the tough blues rock hybrid that would make it a certified U.S. arena headliner by the mid-70's. While the album didn't spawn the big radio hits of its later releases such as "La Grange" and "Tush," RIO GRANDE MUD was another incredibly consistent and inspired ZZ Top classic.

Again, Billy Gibbons' guitar work is outstanding throughout, helping to spearhead such great cuts as the rugged opener "Francine," the gritty attitude of "Just Got Paid," the hyperactive "Ko Ko Blue," and one of the band's most melodic compositions up until this point, "Chevrolet." RIO GRANDE MUD remains one of ZZ Top's most underrated recordings.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Also available as part of the ZZ Top 6 Pack.

ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Dusty Hill (vocals, bass); Frank Beard (drums).

Rolling Stone (7/20/72, p.52) - "...abnormally talented and resourceful.... [RIO GRANDE MUD] is a good album for people who enjoy uncompromising rock & roll at uncompromising volume..."

Rio Grande Mud Music Review


Customer Rio Grande Mud Reviews 




Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars CLASSIC BLUES/ROCK!
ZZ Top would always state in the liner notes to their 1970s albums that their music is authentic blues and rock, free from studio gimmicks and over-mixing. Nowhere is this more evident than in "Rio Grande Mud" - an album full of gritty and authentic tracks that emphasise the fact that they are a threesome capable of providing high powered Texan blues/rock. "Just got paid" showcases the awesome ability of Gibbons, Hill and Beard; each unique musicians in their own right. 'Mushmouth shoutin' has some phenomenal guitar and blues harp playing; you'd swear that you were listening to Sonny Boy Williamson circa 1950s/1960s. "Chevrolet" is a rockin' good number that's catchy and cool. This is then followed by one of the band's finest moments, "Apologies to Pearly" - a great swinging blues with exceptional slide guitar. The album ends with "Down brownie" which has one of the best guitar riffs ever from Mr Gibbons. All in all this is a phenomenally good album, and it clearly shows that 1970s ZZ Top were a no-nonsense band, giving listeners unadulterated performances 'live' in the studio.

Drained by the tour, and unhappy with the support of their record label (London), they took a three-year break. They negotiated a switch to Warner Brothers, who put out their next album (DEGUELLO), and also bought their back catalog for re-issue. After breaking through to the big time with its hit 1975 release FANDANGO! (and its Top 40 single "Tush"), ZZ Top ...

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. The Grateful Dead's self-titled first album contains the main ingredients of the unique musical stew the band would brew over the coming years. Upon its release in March 1967, it brought the musical and philosophical ideals of the freak counter-culture out of the Bay Area and into the ears of mainstream America. "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" is a Summer Of Love anthem nonpareil. "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" shows off the Dead's ability to reinterpret the blues, and Pigpen's natural front-man qualities. The hyperactive rockabilly of Jesse Fuller's "Beat It On Down The Line" and the rearranged traditionals "Sitting On Top Of The World" and "Cold Rain And Snow" are proof that, despite the group's anti-establishment fashions, their lyrical symbols and musical forms were as time-honored as the English folk-tale that provided their name. While the cover of Bonnie Dobson's eerie anti-war epic "Morning Dew" and the women-and-wine rocker "New, New Minglewood Blues" are energetic portrayals of hippie values, the closing number, Noah Lewis's "Viola Lee Blues," is the album's grand, mind-blowing concoction and a highlight. The remastered version's live bonus tracks include some never-recorded garage-rock and blues cuts and a 23-minute "Viola Lee Blues" bearing the first hints of the modal riff at the foundation of Dead milestone "Dark Star." One of the things that made the Dead such a unique live act was the sheer variety of their influences. The vastness of the musical terrain they covered is well demonstrated on 1971's GRATEFUL DEAD, nicknamed "Skull & Roses" because of its cover art. It captures the band's live sound at a time when their marathon, acid-inspired concerts were swiftly becoming the stuff of legend and earning them legions of new fans. This set conveys the typical arc of a Dead show. The band could be economical and straightforward, with brisk, stripped-down numbers like the lilting "Bertha," the straight-forward country of "Me and My Uncle" and Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," and the country-folk of "Me and Bobby McGee." They could just as easily go into lugubrious album-side-filling improvisations like "The Other One," and pump out loose-limbed, groovy versions of '50s rockers like Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" and Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode." The set concludes with the laid-back, joyous jam of the traditional "Goin' Down the Road Feelin Bad." Conspicuous in his absence is singer/keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, whose alcoholism was beginning to take its toll. The Grateful Dead's eponymously titled debut long-player was issued in March of 1967. This gave ...
