This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Back in the ’70s they were an honest-to-Texas blues band.
But for more than a decade, ZZ Top have been the musical equivalent of a Flintstones cartoon: The production values are cheap, the jokes are hokey and they use the same backgrounds over and over. Even so, like The Flintstones, they’re still a hoot. This 30th anniversary CD has eight studio tracks, four live tunes and all the electro-blues and tube-snake boogie you’ve come to expect in tunes like Poke Chop Sandwich, Crucifixx-A-Flatt and 36-33-36. It isn’t a classic episode by any means, but you’ll have a yabba-dabba-doo! time just the same.
