Today,
Gibbons, Hill and Beard remain together performing and recording as,
they often say, “the same three guys playing the same three chords.” The
trio offered a statement regarding the release of
ZZ TOP: THE COMPLETE STUDIO ALBUMS (1970-1990):
“We're
gratified that the albums from the first 20 years of the band are going
to be made available in this set. We're especially delighted to note
the restoration of
ZZ Top's First Album, Rio Grande Mud and Tejas has been incorporated; it's good to have been made whole again on a certain level.”
*At inception, Fandango! was a seamless amalgamation of both studio and live recordings; the original track line up is intact for this set.
