the song is about the very real "little shack" outside the city limits of La Grange, Texas. it was known as "The Chicken Ranch" because during the depression, customers would pay for "services" with a chicken. it was immortalized in a movie starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.
"The best little whore house in Texas."
La Grange mean "The Barn" in french if you didn't know.... it put a other fun layer on the story!!
1844 to 1972 (Damn you Marvin Zindler!)
@@jean-rochdion4898 I do JRD!😉
Yeah, "tastes like chicken" LOL
Fun fact: ZZ Top are known for their iconic beards. The only member without a beard was drummer Frank Beard.
Robin Trower was another great 3 man group!!!!
@@greg2976 Grand Funk Railroad and Cream. Great 3 piece bands.
That's right!! 🤣
Didn't know his last name was Beard that is wild.
@@musicairplanes4884 👍
It's always amazed me how much sound that could come from a 3 piece band. I saw them 5 times never disappointed. Nation wide would be a great song to react to. RIP Dusty Hill
I only got to see them once. They were co-headlining with Lynyrd Skynyrd. ZZ Top closed the show. Skynyrd must have had 15 people on that stage, with all their extra guitarists and backup singers. The Tres Hombres came out, just the three of them, and filled that arena with music just as impressively.
" T.V. Dinners "
I saw the Afterburner Tour outside at Legend Valley. The first half of the show the stage was the dash of a Car with the Drum riser on the top of the "Radio", the the 2nd half after it got dark the Black lights came on and it was a Cockpit of a Spacecraft, great show.
@@marke8323 that tour was me and my late wife's first date. February 29th leap year
@@warrenburlingame1172 Great memories, sorry for your loss my friend.
FYI that man was 73 years old for that performance. The band is a legend!! These guys have been hot since I was a baby and I was born in 1961.
Billy Gibbons has said they wanted to name the band "BB King" but the name was already taken. Here's what he had to say about his famous hat: "These are examples of works of fine textile expertise, woven by members of the famous tribe from Cameroon in Africa, the Bamileke," Billy explained. "Before you can wear the hat, you've got to learn how to make it. And before you can wear it, you've got to be considered a prestigious member of the community. I got lucky and upon visiting Cameroon, I got escorted over to see the Bamileke and I was wearing a Texas cowboy hat. And before the chief came around, I got the elbow and they said, 'Hey that's the chief. Give him your hat.' I said, 'No, wait a minute. Chief, I'm from Texas. We do a little horse trading on these matters...' (Laughs) So he got a nice 10-gallon Texas hat and I walked off with the famous Bamileke hat."
Girl you are battin 1000 today , great choices and you really get the music and the soul behind it. You've very quickly become one of my favorite all time reactors.
...... Edit : Billy Gibbons ( Singer and guitarist ) is one of the coolest most laid back people in the world, just a really good guy. and yes 100% the song is about a little "fun house" on La Grange .
Agreed. She's the best, coolest reactor. Just discovered her.
Billy played a very scary Father-in-law on 'Bones'. Great fun. He was also Hank's cousin on King of the Hill.
ZZ Top is no doubt, undisputed one of the coolest band and people there is
one of the greatest underappreciated guitarists of our time.
Yes he is. when people talk about the greats they seem to forget about Billy.
is it about the worlds oldest profession , yes , just think of how lucky everyone was that day that was at Howards show to witness a once in a life time event
I love seeing a young women that can appreciate good music that was before her time and not just all the crap of today. And your facial expressions werewow.
Amen to that - girl had her 'stank face' on!
He was one of Jimmy Hendrix's favorite guitarists back in the 60's. Legends
You should do the studio version now....ZZTop is one of the all time best classic rock bands
Yes it is about what you are thinking. This is what they call Texas blues. Made famous by the three kings and Stevie Ray Vaughan among others
@@randygibson2801Johnny Winter before Stevie and ZZ. Johnny was a headliner at Woodstock.
I got to meet them years ago. They were playing at the Missouri State Fair in the 90's. The night before they were scheduled to play, they got bored sitting around their 3 Star hotel in Sedalia Missouri and walked across the parking lot and signed autographs in from to the Walmart. The were just chilling.
Billy G is a student of the classic roots of blues. He always teases that his career is built on just three chords, but he is so much more complex than basic blues. It warms my heart to see our younger generation discovering and enjoying ZZ Top - your reaction makes me happy! You nailed it when you said they are "vibing out". I remember their concerts in the 70s and the vibe was real and true. Rest in peace, Dusty.
Their motto for decades basically amounted to: "Same 3 Guys, Same 3 Strings". These guys were the living embodiment of the philosophy "Simplicity Makes Perfection"...and, yes, the song is about a brothel.
3 chords
And now, unfortunately because of the circumstances, the need for a fourth member after 55 years. I don't know if I handled the sudden change and constant turnover.
There was a musical made about the Chicken Ranch... the movie version starred Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds (amongst others) called 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' That sound track is LOADED with reaction gems......
The house featured in the movie is about a mile from property I own in Pflugrrville, Texas, just outside of Austin.
ZZ Top has that “thump”. One of my all time fav bands. 65 years young here. AC/DC yep another one. The music from this era just cannot be beat.
Santana at Woodstock started his raise to fame .
77 pushing 78 and still lovin' ZZ Top!
Yes, thirty seconds of Lyrics followed by three to five minutes of Guitar Solo, depending on their mood, and it's one of their most iconic songs.
Sadly Dusty Hill, the other guitarist, passed away in July of 2021, he was replaced in the group by their long-time guitar tech Elwood Francis
The cap Billy wears is called a Dayshaloo Nudu, a popular hat warn by the Bamileke tribe of Cameroon. He got it some years ago while in Vienna, during which he met the Tribal Chief of the Bamileke, and the two ended up trading hats, Billy got the Nudu which he's worn ever since, and the Chief got his genuine Texas Stetson.
Dusty was the bass player. I'm sure you knew that. RIP Dusty.
Legends for over 50 years. Simply known as Just a little ‘ol band from Texas”. Top invented Texas Blues.
Billy Gibbons (guitarist) was Jimi Hendrix’ favorite guitarist!
I'm as big a ZZ Top fan as anybody, they did not invent Texas blues. I guess you've never heard of blind lemon jefferson who live and die before any of ZZ top where born.
@@diverdown631 T-Bone Walker too. And truth be told. Dusty's brother Rocky was a rival of Steve Vaughan's...for a little while at least he was a rival. Stevie was from Oak Cliff....and T-Bone used to live there too. Stevie's big brother Jimmie was picking the blues before Stevie. I like the Top, but you're right on the money here.
@@bbb462cid And don't forget Albert King.
Mance Lipscomb
Albert King was not a texan and blind lemon Jefferson was born in 1890 and died in 1929 before most blues players people know were even born.
You should definitely react to more of their music
One of my favorites has been and will always be "Sharp Dressed Man"
add 1 more vote.
Three coolest dudes. RIP Dusty Hill. The only guys with no beard is the drummer, and his name is Frank Beard. They did it in Nashville with Brook and Dunst, it was legendary.
One of the most recognizable and perfect guitar riffs of all times... and one hell of a highway driving song!
Undoubtedly inspired by the great John Lee Hooker’s Boogie Chillen.
never heard this version before, they play off eachother so well. that was fun!
It definitely shows when a band loves what they do to the point that they start vibing and seamlessly slipping from one song to another without pause
These guys have been having fun for decades just doing what they love to do. Seen them in concert and they always killed it. People who don't know the band would never guess it's just three guys. RIP Dusty
Can't count the time I have seen them in concert. Always fabulous!
its amazing the sound they make with just three guys. guitar, bass, and drums
Blues boogie at its very finest. This and 'Tush' are my two faves.
I listened to zz Top as a kid growing up in the south and always enjoyed their music . I gotta tell ya tho your reactions are the best there is out there in youtube world . And your smile keeps me coming back also .. Thanks Britt , have yourself a great evening ..
I grew up listening to these guys. My mom was a huge fan. Their songs are iconic. You should definitely listen to more of them.
But stay 1980 and earlier at least for the first few songs.
The Chicken Ranch (1905-1973) - RIP.
It not only inspired ZZTop, but the 1978 Broadway musical and 1982 movie, "The Best Little Wh_reh_use in Texas.
Cheers to that "home out on the range!"
Great band. You should see them live. You got it. It's about what you think.
ZZ Top LIVE is the GREATEST! RIP Dusty
the studio version is perfection 👍🏻
I second that!
Great reaction. Channel's growing so fast because you're good at it.
Absolute LEGENDS! Have heard them multiple times.... unreal talent plus 40+ years together
This guitar lick, and the way it picks up speed, is one of my favorite things ever. Great song for leaving work on a Friday. And yes, it's about what you think it's about. Most songs are ;-)
A Tribe leader in Cameroon was admiring Billy's cowboy hat. Through the interpreter, he worked out a trade: the Chiefs hat, for his. The name of the band came from two legendary musicians. Z.Z. Hill and BB king. Billy didn't want to call the band ZZ King. After thinking about it, he decided on ZZ top because King was at the top of his game musically.
One of my favorite bands ever.
One spring night in 1974 after doing a gig in San Antonio, the band stopped in unexpectedly to Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos for funsies(actually they knew owner Kent Finlay). Willie, Waylon, Alvin Crow, and so many more music legends came there to play in Kent's place. That was the first time I ever saw them in person.....up close and personal. They were driving a Buick Riviera with a moon roof, and some hottie chick was throwing $20's out of the moon roof as they drove up by the front entry. The license plate said ZZTOP. My brother and I and a friend were standing on the front porch and saw what was going on. We went out into the parking lot and grabbed up a total of $160 in twenties between us....that was alot of money back then. We were all in college and broke, so this was like a prayer answered from Heaven. I was a soph. at that time and what a time it was to be alive!! They did not play at Cheatham Street that night......it was already close to closing time (2 a.m.) but the place was still at least half full. This is a true story. I also used to drink beers with Willie Nelson there and George Strait. George was only a couple of yrs older than me and had the Hole in the Wall band in those years. Steve in Texas.....forever.
I saw them liv here in Noway on a small scene . Simply fu...n AMAZING show . ZZ Top and BILLY Gibbons ARE the real deal . That little band from Texas .
Outstanding reaction to a fantastic band. You ought to try out their track _"Waiting on the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago."_ It's actually two short songs, but the sound engineer left no space between them on the album so they run together, and the band just ran with it, making the two into essentially one song.
We played this in a band in high school during an assembly. Along with feel like makin love and one by one the teachers got up and left.We we're a little sheltered and didn't realize what the songs really meant
I would definitely get my smoker fired up if I knew ZZ Top was dropping by for dinner. Smoked brisket and Rock 'N Roll, baby!
The hat is known as a nudu, or Bamileke beanie, Billy Gibbons' traded his Stetson 10-gallon to the leader of the Bamileke tribe for it in Cameroon during a break while on tour with ZZ Top.
Yep, it's DEFINITELY what you're thinkin' about!🤣 The famous Chicken Ranch.. (i.e. Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) ZZ Top is still one of the icons of the rock world, and as a 3 piece band, have put out some of the most memorable tracks in rock history!!🎵🎶 🤘😎🤘
One of my favorite groups back in the day, so many people have covered this song through the years!
This song is about a brothel, which is a house of ill repute, that existed in LaGrange Texas from 1905 to 1973. So although I can't read your mind pretty sure that what you were thinking the song was about was probably pretty close to what it was really about.
the sheer range of styles and music, comedy et al and your reactions truly make and give joy to the us all. you young lady are ready for prime time.
I highly recommend listening to the original studio tracks when checking out a new band. It sets a good baseline and they're the versions people most identify with, for the most part.
The place this song is about is also the place in the movie THE BEST LITTLE WH*RE HOUSE IN TEXAS that DOLLY PARTON starred in.. needless to say it is not meant for innocent eyes.
A movie was made about the place they are singing about in 1982. Starring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton. The movie was called The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Those guys will blow your mind!
For a couple of years (1973-75?), they might have been the best band in the world. Anything from ‘Tres Hombres’ (like this song, “Waitin’ For The Bus/ Jesus Just Left Chicago”, “Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers”, “Move Me On Down the Line”), … ‘Fandango’ (“Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings”, “Blue Jean Blues”, “Heard It On The X”, “Tush”), … or “Just Got Paid” is a good introduction. Thanks!
Yes its about a brothel. You need to explore the ZZ Top rabit hole. You gotta check out their songs Tush. Tube Snake Boogie, Just Got Paid, Jesus just Left Chicago, Legs, Sharp Dressed Man, Cheap Sunglasses, Bad Girl, Mexican Blackbird although you may want to do that one private, I don't think RUclips will allow that reaction. This band has been rolling out hits since the 1960 and until the bass player died in 2022 they were all the three original band members. One of the top five Rock and roll/Blues bands of all time.
Don't forget Pearl Necklace if we are traveling down the road of in your face behind your back songs.
The best straight-ahead rock and roll band in the world. At least from where I'm sitting.
You are so beautyfu, i Can´t look awayl
Back in the 70’s most of us didn’t listen to the lyrics, just the soundscape. Love this song!
A Haw Haw Haw....
I know. I think in a big way that was because many or most of us didn't have enough money for stereo gear good enough to hear a lot of the vocals.
Yeah, it's about what you think it's about! 🙂 The hook for "La Grange" came from John Lee Hooker's "Boom, Boom, Boom" - ruclips.net/video/K096sx5whTE/видео.html
Yep, I instantly recognized it when I heard it. Paying homage to a pioneer in electric blues...
ZZ Top was probably the first rock band I loved.
Great to see your pure surprise and joy while listening to the coolest American band of the 1980s. Great reaction!
And the 70's
Great Job! Loved watching you groove to this GROOVY song! 🙂❤
You are right. Is like they go through every rhythm and style telling a story.
ZZTOP - papers we used back in the day to roll blunts. Two different brands: Tops and Zig Zags. And yes... the song is what you think it's about. The riff is from an old blues song by John Lee Hooker in "Boogie Chillen'"... same riff used by the Stones' song "Shake your hips" from Exile on Main Street.
Yes this song is what we're ALL thinking about
Am loving the guitar here. I've listened to La Grange many times but not this version, this was cool.
Your question: As others here have mentioned, this is about the "Chicken Ranch" just east of Lagrange, Texas, immortalized in the play and later movie starring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". You may not know that "I Will Always Love You" was written by Dolly Parton and sung by her in the movie. Dolly isn't the least bit jealous that the Whitney Houston cover of her song did so much better, when people say that it will always be a Whitney Houston song to them, she's often joked, "I don't care if she gets the credit, I just want the cash." She jokingly thanked Houston for all the royalties several times when she was still alive.
ZZ Top has done several songs about Texas locations and lore. Another favorite of mine is "Down at the Balinese", a song about a famous Galveston gambling hall that was finally raided in 1957 but endured as a local landmark until it was sadly swept away by Hurricane Ike in 2008. It was located on piers out over the Gulf of Mexico, and for years thwarted raids with a warning buzzer at the entrance that sounded an alarm in the gambling room at the back. By the time the police could run down the long series of rooms between them, all the gambling equipment would be hidden and staff and patrons would act like they were just enjoying a night on the town in an ordinary nightclub.
You'll get lots of other recommendations here on other ZZ Top songs to dive into, they've had a long career, lots of success in the 70s, 80s, and even the 90s, but I'd like to recommend a different sort of ZZ Top song. That would be "Blue Jean Blues", very quiet, subdued, and powerful. The last line gets me every time.
A couple of ZZ Top songs about Texas that I like are "Heaven, Hell or Houston" and then a deeper cut called "Master of Sparks". The reason I like "Master" so much is because the story told happened on Highway 6 where I grew up.
One of my favorite ZZ Top songs. LEGENDS!
I'm diggin' you diggin' them, girl. Great reaction, you are awesome!
"Is this song what I think it's about?" Yup!! Welcome to ZZ Top!! GREAT reaction, and yes, they are Legend!! Two guys with beards and the other one named ... wait for it ... Frank Beard. What's not to love!!
The hat was a gift from the leader of Cameroon in Africa. He was there as a guest on a diplomatic visit. He traded a ten gallon hat from Texas for it. The hat is called a Bamileke. He immediately fell in love with it. He has since collected a lot of African folk art.
Love these guys, such talent 👏
Lov your show...you go you good woman
I saw them in Hawaii when I was in the Army in 1978.
They absolutely owned that crowd and had them wrapped around their little fingers. They were absolutely amazing. Fandango remains my favorite album and Mellow Down Easy remains one of the best live party songs of all time.
There’s no way not to love this. ❤
“Is this song what I think it’s about??” 🤣🤣
Saw Billy, Dusty and Frank at the Belton Expo a few yrs. back, still had that taste tone and tenacity, was up in the nosebleed seats but they brought it in spades. Back in the late 70s Dusty took time off for two years to just be a normal guy, Worked at the Dallas Airport as Joe loading bags etc. Now thats the mark of a true human being knowing his roots. RIP Dusty....
And that's how we do it in Texas !!
Wonderfull ! This live version sounds so Fantastic Dirty ! I love it !
yes - they are talking about that topic which actually occurred a few decades ago in LaGrange, Texas. The story took on new legend status when Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton made a movie called "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" which came came out in the late 1970s. Check it out. I know you like Dolly Parton - she has several really good songs in this movie.
What a great video this is! So glad I found it. 🙏👏👏👏
Best rock trio ever
In regards to the hat, If memory serves me correctly, Billy Gibbons was in Africa or somehow met the leader/king of an African tribe. Gibbons had on a 10 gallon cowboy hat & the tribal leader liked it, so they traded each other hats. The African hat has been part of his style for several decades at this point.
Saw them in 76’ at the Paramount in Portland OR. Iconic music.
That guitar does talk. Every time Billy puts his hands on it.
It has that field party baby makin' beat responsible for a lot of kids. Toss another pallet on the fire, pass the Jack and crank the ZZ Top.
Always have loved these dudes. Cut my teeth on em as child/teen in the 70s. Saw them many times thru the years. Badassery personified on stage.
Towards the end he breaks song and they start playing another one of their songs, "BAR-B-Q" from their second album.
Yes young lady, this is exactly what you think this is about and what a lovely "reaction" ... love it. I'm an old guy so was around when they started over in Dallas. TX. And when they'd come to Fort Worth for live shows, they'd stay across the street from me in an abandoned Mansion ... driving their early 60's baby blue Ford Econoline Van ... spray painted with "ZZ Top" on the sides freehand. LOL Billy Gibbons is considered in the top 5 guitarists ever ... up there with Hendrix, Clapton, Van Halen ...
That "Little Ole Band From Texas" is a great blues band, and they know how to rock it.
Yeah LA Grange! Great Blues Southern rock tune! It's called Jamming!
It's about the Chicken Ranch and there was a Broadway play based on it called "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." It was called the Chicken Ranch because during the Depression nobody had money, but they did have chickens.
They where just having fun, killer band
I was able to see then in Amarillo, Tx in early 1974 and they were clean shaven! Sugerloaf played before them and were awesome too!
ZZ top is the epitome of cool :D
everything about them is so badass, iconic looks, how they act and especially their music
dictionaries should have their picture attached to words like "badass", "cool", "awesome" etc :D
ZZ Top sharp dressed man gimme all your lovin are bangers too
They sound soooo good live
I'm 60 , and I can say they have always been ladies men! And like old cars ! Legends!
You played one of my favorite bands. And for that, plus the fact you’re adorable, I subscribed. Thanks for what you do.
That’s true Rock n roll blues ❤❤❤
from LaGrange Georgia
One of the best songs in my lifetime
