[bozo47p]

a true love song in the rain....no one ever sees the tears in the rain

[bigredheadone]

Man, I always think of this song after a cold rain.

Definitely Top at their best.

[MrLambo420]

KILLER SONG!!!!!!!!

[FRANKBURNSONE]

Lemmy Kilmiester was also a roadie for The Jimi Hendrix Experience. I saw ZZ at Billy Bobs in Ft. Worth in the mid 80's. Only about 2,500 people there for that one. I've seen them maybe 4 or 5 times. That show was the best one for sure.

[MrLambo420]

Unreal supersonic-blues baby!!!!

[whatever888888888888]

smooth as a fine woman on a silk sheet with nothin on but a smile

[st49237]

[AmazingMrWonderful]

I bough this album when it first came out. I still have it.

[garrrrrryyy]

fuckin greatest song ever'''' long live that little ol band from texas

[markusrosso]

I'm numb with pleasure from this song...

[kristand56]

I knew my brother semper fi

[inkum08080]

Well all I can say is that ZZ was an amazing blues band when Billy got back from Vietnam but then Bill Ham got a hold of them and we got Cheap Sunglasses. So sad you can't make a buck in America just being a really good blues band. First 2.5 albums were historic.

[joetaska]

@inkum08080 You are correct sir!! I loved everything before Eliminator !! Bang Bang from 1996 gave me some hope but there was nothing like ZZ Top around the Deguello days!! 

[oldpegan]

hey old folks- was the new years eve '78 concert at terrant county con. center the first time we saw Billy with the beard? Deguello and fuzzy pink guitars saw them with the fabulous t-birds for a 2.50 cover at the travis st electric company, skipped school and went down to a little bbq and barn dance (hey i'm on an album cover)

[MrDeadmanwalking44]

long live zz top

[bozo47p]

another great tune that gets no free air play....except on youtube....thanks fellas it is nice to know that there is someone out there with good taste in tunes...thank you that was very nice of you

[fortheloveoftunes]

"Billy" makes da guitar weep!

[st49237]

what happened to Bill Ham?

[st49237]

how do you zz top it? pun intended!

[metalshark69]

If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall,

With thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call.

Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night

But stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right.

And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,

Not from the sky but from my eye,

Not from the sky, from my eye.

- Billy Gibbons

[rgrubb45013]

@metalshark69  some if not the best lyrics ever written... Billy is the man!!!

[MsTeri111]

zz top at their best

[inkum08080]

Lord help me what a song! Ya know they had to make a living but to move from this to Tush and the like was somewhat of a downer. Really a true American Blues Band back in the day.

[steelerfan2034]

A Texas love song. This thing gets real right out the gate.

[DONDIVA1969]

Fuckin' awesome

[BloozeDaddy76]

This is one of the better soulful, bluesy ballads ZZ did that gets no radio airplay. An overlooked classic.

[jamiejobrien3]

@Jethro2273 I think what jcsuperstar714 might have meant was that Billy was with the Moving Sidewalks when Hendrix made the comment that Billy was one of his favorite guitar players. He was not Hendrix's guitar roadie, though, the Sidewalks opened up for Hendrix when he played Houston. You are correct about this song being after he left Moving Sidewalks (the album cover shown here might have been an indication) =) Killer song and killer album, though!

[Brucev7]

@jamiejobrien3 I was going to say I have read where Jimi said the late Chicago Guitarist Terry Kath, was one of the best he had ever heard and was amazed at the sounds he got out of the guitar. (paraphrase)

[gileslesmith]

one of the really few epic numbers they recorded. somehow mysterious, with some touch of magic and absolutely great guitar work!

[fortheloveoftunes]

Beautiful song indeed!

[yestertek]

Please post an original mix of this album. All the extra grease makes my head hurt.

[hittingnote75]

@yestertek Yeah i thought this version sounded too new to be from the original recording. Sounds like a Rockman or Legend amp. I still like it and the original.

[scout005]

Thanks for posting. I'm using it to learn rhythm guitar. The arpeggio is great fun to play.

[RGS59]

I had this album back in 75" Thx for the memories!!

[stormfeather1]

Lotta folks don't know that Billy was Jimi Hendrix guitar roadie and Jimi said that Billy was the best guitarist he had ever heard...

[jcsuperstar714]

@stormfeather1 - This was when Billy was with The Moving Sidewalks, a band in extreme obscurity today.

[Jethro2273]

@jcsuperstar714 Are you certain of that? This was ZZ Top's 2nd album by this point. I thought he had already left the Sidewalks by then.

[BRADdoesGUYS]

@stormfeather1 Is this true? The only thing close I can find is that his band Moving Sidewalks opened for Hendrix. I knew he got props and a "too pretty" Strat from Hendrix, but he just said Gibbons was one of his favorite up and coming American axemen....I think there's some legends crossed, Lemmy from Motorhead was a roadie for JH Exp

[40horsejohnson]

@stormfeather1 A lot of people don't know it because it isn't true. Billy's band "The Moving SIdewalks" opened for Jimi's first American tour as a headliner; he wasn't a roadie. The story that Jimi named Billy as his favorite guitarist or the next hottest guitarist or whatever had been told so many times with so many different players named instead of Billy (Dick Dale, Phil Keaggy, etc. etc.) that it's hard to know what to believe. No one seems to be able to produce any original evidence.

[dragonzen4]

@stormfeather1 I think I remember reading that before about Hendrix's comment on how much he dug Billy Gibbons playing. I wonder if Gibbons and Lemmy were in the Hendrix camp at the same time? I've yet to hear either of them comment on that. I did not know that Billy was a roadie for Hendrix. How cool.

[ravenwolfs]

Yeah Great Song... Still love it after all these years, and it still touches:)

Thanks for the upload.

[ReDact45]

Great song. Great LP.
