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..."

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.
