Tejas

ZZ Top

A dusty, transitional record where the band's greasy Texas blues meets experimental studio textures and a haunting, border-town atmosphere.

November 29, 1976 · Rhino Records (2)

Find on Amazon

A sun-baked, slightly mysterious journey through the Texas borderlands that balances grit with unexpected tenderness.
