I'm shufflin' through the Texas sand,
but my head's in Mississippi.
I'm shufflin' through the Texas sand,
but my head's in Mississippi.
The blues has got a hold of me.
I believe I'm gettin' dizzy.

Help me now

I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
Lord, I thought I was in Heaven.
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
I thought I was in Heaven.
But I was stumblin' through the parking lot
of an invisible seven eleven.

What was I doin out there?

Where's my head baby?
Somewhere in Mississippi.

Last night I saw a cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
And last night I saw a naked cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
She was mumblin to some howlin' wolf
about some voodoo healin'.

Mmm Baby

I got a 1 Day In-School Suspension because I left school early to thumb up to the Ticketron to buy my ZZ Top Ticket at the Cincinnati Colosseum between 1976 -78?. In 1998 I hot Paid to be a Human Keep-Off-The-Grass-Sign because they just spread new graa seed at the Amphitheater (Riverbend Music Amphitheatre) it's Identical too the Sound Advice Amphitheater in West Palm Beach Florida I worked the Ozz-Fest there in 2008. I'm really sad about Dusty's Passing. A friend of mine was in Huston and at Billy Bob's in Dallas Fort Worth Performing (Bobby Mackey from Northern Kentucky) he told me he mingled with those Boys from Huston! I met the Big Slum Loard from Huston in Denver and was Skiing with her and her son in Vail! One of my best friend is having hip problems too. It's an ongoing problem that hasn't gotten better in 2 years! Surgery is necessary, but what type remains to be the question?

Pure Class from the legends. These guys been my hero’s since I was 11. I started playing guitar because of them. Still love them just as much to this day. This stuff is what made the US awesome back in the day. Hot girls, good music and Class Muscle cars. Pure testosterone back when men with beards were real men.

I've always thought of ZZ Top as heavy metal blues. This song is awesome

KGS 1925

8th generation Texan here. Actually, if you've ever listened to them describe their style, they've said many times, and I quote "We're just a little ol band from Texas. A rock n roll boogie band". Heavy metal is Metallica, MotorHead, stuff like that. Definitely not ZZ Top .

This was the #1 track at Rock Radio in 1990, now lost entirely to time and the whims of modern music research.

Wayne Cameron

@David McKibben When I re-read my comment it sounded kinda like something from a Pink Floyd song, and as if I was STONED or something. "Welllcooommme to the MACHINE".

David McKibben

2y↑1

@Wayne Cameron lol yep basically its all happening at once and we are talking terminology or semantics if you like

Wayne Cameron

2y↑1

So that means that now, 3 years later, the song is even "loster" to time? And it's weird that you use the word "modern" in a post that's 3 years old. Kinda gives new perspective on the passage of time, and the vague parameters as to when "modern" ends and then gradually deteriorates in terms of functionality and popularity, thus becoming old-fashioned and then archaic, and finally objects of antiquity or legend, all but lost in the mists of time. Same thing happens to "futuristic".

Amazing what you can do with just 4 chords.... The solo is another thing all together..
I have heard many guitarist trying to play or teach Billy's style but none come close.
I have to feel sorry when I hear the myrid YT posts that totally fail..
I include myself in that group. I can play some songs note for note and it still doesn't sound like him.
That is why I consider him the greatest rock blues guitarist of all time.
I am leaving out the obvious like Jimi and Beck because they strayed too far from the blues in most cases. The only other guitarist worth mentioning is Peter Green. Maybe he is the best blues guitarist in total, but something about Billy's sound is unobtainable.
Clapton inmyo only played blues on Beano.
