ZZ Top - Tejas 1976 - Ten Dollar Man

[Ellipser]

Frankferter and the drummer, Stew Copeland, are just fantasticly fun up the side of the head listening, they are brothers kinda. Crazy praise.

[aleisterktk]

Incredible, greasy, filthy, slippery...

[paynecharles500]

Lol, it still sounds like ZZ TOP. They've improved with age. 1 finely tuned music machine.

I saw them back in the 70s during the Fandango tour. They had a live Owl on stage perched up on a tree branch. You would think with the loud music the owl would have freaked out. But he just chilled. And of course it was behind the amps. It was in Houston when I was in my teens. This was a really good album. I have every piece of vinyl they ever released. Cool song. Back when hooch was only a ten spot.

@texasmusic I saw them on the cover of an album..so what..lifes a bitch and so are you.me love me.I,m leaving..see ya.

[texasmusic]

@713nova Go take some midol and get a box of cotton. It will all go away.

@texasmusic I saw them in Austin( inside sleeve of Fandango) and I remember 1 yr in Houston they had buzzards,longhorn and I think some snakes. It was one of their first Thanksgiving shows they used to do there. I remember $10 cans and $100 lb which was more like 20 oz....

What is the chance of you taking your cassette tape of Rio Grande Mud and putting up It Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell. When they remastered they cut out the best part of the lead in that song.

[jackery342]

Great song

[Veaseify]

Dusty Hill is one of the most under appreciated singers in rock, he just lets it rip on this..wonderful stuff

[Gaelmusicvideo]

re-descovering that song without the shitty 80's drum effect....

[kneapoe51]

Great tune, Killer Album! Haven't heard this in waaay tooo looong. Thanks for posting!

[muzikkraz]

Whoo-hoo and a FINE Texas hello to you!!!

I'm so happy that the masterpiece (Tejas) is finally being appreciated by people like you, 2010Joe54, that take the time to share what I consider the greatest music of ALL-TIME!!!

God bless you and z z top

[dunbar5282]

wish they would play this in concert

[pottery1182]

This sounds like the "original" recording before the "remastered" version came to be. I have to break out the old vinyl to get the original sound. Where on earth did you find this version. I would love to have the original recording on cd or mp3 format. Thanks!

[2010Joe54]

@pottery1182 - This is from my cassette, like you said, the original. Download 'free you tube to MP3 converter' follow the instructions & this track can be yours. Glad you like it.

[myrio1]

@pottery1182 where was that pic taken of them in an auditorium near the beginning of the vid?

[AidanTA]

@pottery1182 Howdi. Think this is on the box set that came out in 2003 - Chrome, Smoke & BBQ. The '70s tracks on it all had the original mixes

[eltrompo83]

This is great stuff. Thanks for the upload!

[mischi1968]

GREAT SONG !! I LOVE IT !!

[UriahHeepisbest]

Very underrated song!

[autoeer]

L'l Old Boys From Texas! 

[zappafanx]

This is the real ZZ Top!

[zappafanx]

You don't hear this on the radio but this is real ZZ

[zappafanx]

You don't hear this on the radio but this id real ZZ

[Stryder55]

Fantastic!!! I haven't heard that in ages... Memories.... What a sound!

[frank240ny]

this was totally before the 80s killed the groove, back when they let their guitars do the talking instead of stupid outfits.

[Sweeper5]

Oh my god, I forgot about this song...Those guys rocked hard back in the day. Best thing is, they've still got the mojo burnin'. I'd pay good money to see them play again, and especially if they played some of this old Tejas stuff. Billy Gibbons picks the coolest notes when he plays. He's one-of-a-kind, that's for sure.

[camaropayne]

anybody know were to find the guitar tab for this song?

[zappafanx]

One of my favorite ZZTop songs!

[dunbar5282]

the all time top zz song

[ezernut9mm]

[spillo23]

[AVorderline]

I hate this song

[knoxunflower1]

This entire album is so underrated, it's unreal.

[zzfanhun]

Good old Tejas! Best album!

[classictull1966]

Fantastic..... Before the 80s killed the groove

[meeces13]

@classictull1966 its what all nerds say. thanx for letting us know yer one

[RubHerSoul1]

@classictull1966 Right on!. All that unneccessary reverb and shit. totally sucked the punch out of their sound. Then came those awful synths. UGH!

[meeces13]

@classictull1966 whiners

[djk28161]

@classictull1966 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT......Molly Hatchet lost their raw sound in the 80's also

[pullbackbaby]

Classic. Thanks for posting it.
