ZZ Top – Raw ('That Little Ol' Band From Texas' Original Soundtrack) Tangerine Vinyl

Brand new sealed LP, Album, Stereo, Tangerine vinyl housed in a gatefold cover.

ZZ Top "Raw" is essentially the full performance captured in the 2019 documentary "That Little Ol' Band from Texas. Vocalist/guitarist Billy Gibbons has stated the following in the press release for this album: "The director suggested we find a way to illustrate the early style from the start of our five plus decades run. Gruene Hall was selected as a fitting backdrop to replicate the look of the band’s very beginnings. When we arrived, we were surprised to see that all our gear had been transported there so, as cameras rolled, we picked up the instruments and commenced an unplanned jam session. Fortunately, our stage engineers were on hand with tape machines in place to capture the performances that went down. That became, in essence, the soundtrack to the film and now it’s also an audio document of ZZ Top’s early beginnings."

Billy is exactly right about "Raw". It is a thrill hearing the legendary trio stripped back down to just vocals, guitar, bass and drums. This is especially evident with the renditions of "Legs" & "Gimme All Your Lovin'" which were originally released on their huge selling 1983 release "Eliminator". Hearing those two tracks in particular sans synthesizers and drum machines is a treat.
