The Story
ZZ Top's face-melter of a third album from 1973, now on jalapeno green vinyl! (It also comes in a heavy duty gatefold reproduction sleeve with one of the coolest inside covers EVAR.) Once upon a time, there was more to ZZ Top than beards and "Legs," and Tres Hombres is the evidence. Right from the top, you get the full force blues-rock swagger of "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and "Waitin' For The Bus" (has anyone sampled that "HAVE MERCY!" part yet?) plus the spooky shuffle of "Master of Sparks." Flip it over for more heat courtesy of the hit "La Grange" and the nasty "Precious & Grace." Is that John Candy in the liner notes' photo collage? This 2018 reissue comes as part of the Start Your Ear Of Right series and limited to 5,300 copies.
