Jesus Done Left Chicago...

I have never been the type to spend much time getting all nostalgic mourning days past or living in long dead glory. But sometimes going backwards is tasty. I was never a huge ZZ Top fan, but they did have one album I loved: "Tres Hombres." On a whim yesterday, I bought and downloaded the album off WalMart's music site.

The beared bards from Tejas first served up this delicious audio feast more than thirty years ago, but in my mind it stand the test of time. The album is full of heavy, soulful blues guitar, and great lyrics that take you to New Orleans with Jesus, to heaven with a "Hot Blue and Righteous" angel, and to the street with "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers." It's everything a blues record should be.
