    La Grange is a town in Texas. There was a brothel just outside a town called "The Chicken Ranch". This is what the song is about. The movie musical starring Dolly Parton THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS is about this place. Billy Givens is a big fan of blues singer JOHN LEE HOOKER and the sounds he makes are the signature style of Hooker. There are many ZZ Top songs in the blues style of MISSISSIPPI DELTA BLUES or sometimes referred to as MEMPHIS BLUES. WAITIN' ON THE BUS/JESUS DONE LEFT CHICAGO and BLUE JEAN BLUES are prime examples of this. In the 1960s Billy Givens opened for Jimmi Hendrix.

      Ur right, its s song about a House of ill repute( WHOREHOUSE). I love it. It was in business for over a 100 years. Called it the chicken ranch because, during the depression they couldn't afford to pay the ladies. So they payed them with chickens. There was chickens everywhere. Therefore chicken ranch. 🤣😂🤣

    RIP Dusty. I love that they honored Dusty's wishes with continuing the band and are keeping the music going. One of my favorite bands from an early teen up into my 50's their music does not disappoint. One of my favorite side notes for Billy Gibbons is when he drops into a tv show guest appearance as something more than a musical guest but actually made at least a little part of the story as he did in Bones. He plays the protective hard ass father type just as you'd expect from an old Texas, hard knocks, rocker, hot rodder that he is.

    In 1975 or 76 our group was heading to the ZZ Top concert all pumped up. We loved ZZ and could hardly wait. The opening band was Kiss. None of our group had ever heard of them. After the show, all we could talk about. was Kiss. I looked for their record the next day but was told it hadn't been released yet. The rest, as they say, is history. I'm 68 years old and still remember it . What a treat - ZZ and Kiss together for the night.

  • @meld5234

    I would also recommend their songs "Sharp dressed man" and "Tush". I would look into Foghat ("Slowride"), Bad Company ("Shooting Star"), Nazareth ("Hair of the Dog"), Free ("All Right Now"), and Blackfoot ("Highway Song"). Hmm, I think I'm getting a little better editing my comments. There's just so many amazing artists and songs that I have a really hard time narrowing it down. There's a reason I can never pick a favorite.

      They're from Houston. Named for rolling papers, Zig Zag and Top. Their early stuff was pure raw Texas Blues Rock; they got commercial with the advent of MTV, and Frank switched to a drum machine. Still, they'll always be Lone Star blues-rock icons.

    ZZ Top combines the authentic Delta Blues of their black blues heros from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, combined with rock, but they have deep blues, rocked up songs, blues rock, and even Elvis covers. Their 70s songs are amazing (Just Got Paid, Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago, Tush, Francine, etc.), but also their 80's videos (Gimme All Your Lovin', Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, Rough Boy, etc.) are incredible and were hugely influential on the MTV generation.
    ZZ Top got respect from black Delta bluesmen, classic rock gods like Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and even more modern bands like the Foo Fighters. And they're still together and touring with their original lineup 52 years after forming.

    Fun Fact: The ZZ Top band members names are Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. Ironically, Beard is the only one without a beard.

    ZZ Top was the first concert I ever saw. It was at my high school. It was a fund raiser that they did on a day off between their American and European tours in 1983. Opening for them was Cheap Trick, you'll have to check them out some time too, phenomenal band. In 2019 I saw them again, twice, for the first time since then. Still incredible after all these years. One of the only rock bands that has had the same members since they started.

    Funny thing is, that song is about The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas which there was a movie also back in the early 80's starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. For their voices check out songs like Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, Tush, TV Dinners...

    Great choice of tunes to react to for your first ZZ top experience. Enjoying the reactions brother. That said, you need to figure out your audio issues, your levels are way off and the sound quality on the music track needs adjusting for sure. You'll see that on playback. Rock on🤘

    After finding your channel several weeks ago, I’m just now going back and checking out your early stuff. Glad you found ZZ Top to be a Vibe! Being from Texas, upon reflection, I’m kind of surprised I only saw them in concert once, and that was as the opening act for the Stones at the Cotton Bowl in ‘81. The Stones sold out 2 shows and the first show was held during a torrential downpour. Thankfully, we were at the 2nd show, which was under blue skies, but with a stiff cold wind. Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill (RIP) had their beards blowing in tandem! The first act that day was the Fabulous Thunderbirds, including SRV’s older brother, Jimmie. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

    You should watch "Sharp Dressed Man", "Legs" and "Gimme All Your Lovin". Some fun videos for sure and lots of vibe. When I saw them in concert, they had their signature Fire engine red '33 Ford Coupe they called the ZZ Top Eliminator (from the Official videos) on stage with lots of girls coming out of it. It was so great!
    As for hearing it in a biker bar. You got that right. Rode for 20 years and ZZ Top was one of our top bands we listened to. We loved the Southern Rock more than anything else. Rock on!

  • @chrisblack1119
    @chrisblack1119 3 года назад

    In Houston, we call ZZ Top "The Home Team". They used to pop up in dive bars around the south side in the 80's and play an unannounced set for whoever happened to be there. Too cool and pure Texas. Gotta put in my vote for Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago or Master of Sparks, which is about drag racing out on the outskirts of Houston in the late 60's.
    Keep up the good work!

    These dudes were menaces back in the day. On one tour, they brought along damn near a zoo! The Worldwide Texas Tour was legendary. Unfortunately, I was too young to see them then, but I have seen them several times thru the years. Always a great show.
    You reacted when they showed their clothing. Check out the tune, "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" for a hint of their true swag. Ha ha haaaa The title sez it all.

    So glad someone turned you on to ZZTOP!! When they have show someplace, they show up at the local mall and buy hats or leather jackets or boots!! So cool to run into them shopping. The drummer's last name is Beard, and the other two wear beards. They are always great live, but they're pretty awesome otherwise. They have some crazy good videos, like the one for the song Legs!
