When this album came out, I was all into reading/writing drum chops. So I took this one to my 'weekly' drum teacher. He couldn't play it or even hear it apparently. Dropped him in 3 weeks time...joined a Jimi Hendrix clone band. hehehe
Extra big thanx to MrBaldheadslick for uploading this....don't seem to be too many people aware of this great song out there in Youtubeland.....Cheers to you sir
Tejas is by far my fave ZZ Top album. I found an old vinly copy earlier this year and I adore it. There's no substitute for the old original sound. Wish someone would put all of the songs on You Tube.
Hang on to your vinyl, the CD mix of this song (and the whole album) sux, unless they've redone it. I want my money back and a replacement if they did. I think they replaced Frank with a drum machine. Tejas was their best album but apparently not their best seller. Shame... it's a beautiful piece of work, this song is tight and reminds me of Brown Sugar with the moderate speed but intense beat, and the hard strike on the guitar chords.
dang i didn't know that ZZ TOP was on the London Label? dang. thought they were always on Warner Bros....but, anywayze this song brings some memories back. thanx for the post.
Man seeing the old London logo& that single brings back the memories! KILLER ALBUM, KILLER TUNE!! Wore a hole in mine!(loaned it to a buddy&after a while jus went 8-track)"Don't Tease Me","Pan Am Highway Blues","Asleep in the Desert","EL DIABLO"," Snappy Kakkie",(spell?) it's been Awhile but will never forget this BAD-ASSED JAMZZ!! Definitely one of my TOP 3 ZZ LPZZ!!! LONG TIME ZZ FAN& THANK YOU FOR POST!
One of their best albums. My fav. Learned every note, twist and turn. Brilliant.

So how did a 3:47 song get dragged out to 4:28? A little slow on the up load maybe? Either way, its a great old Top song.

Interesting comment section. I guess I'm not the only person who thinks drums sounded better before the 80s after all!

Tejas is my all time favourite ZZ Top album. Theres so much variety on it. I love the dry sound of the drums too.
