 Notes & Reviews
 
Full title is: Best of ZZ Top [2004]

  Billy Gibbons - Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals, Slide Guitar
  Dusty Hill - Bass, Vocals
  Frank Beard - Drums

ZZ Top closed out their tenure with London Records in late 1977 with The Best of ZZ Top, a basic but terrific ten-song retrospective of highlights from their first five albums (well, four, actually, since the underwhelming Tejas is ignored). There are no surprises here, just album rock favorites, which means it does draw heavily on Tres Hombres (four songs, total), adds Fandango's 'Tush,' 'Blue Jean Blues,' and 'Heard It on the X' for good measure, then rounds it out with two songs from Rio Grande Mud and a selection from the debut. Yeah, there are a couple good album tracks missing, but as a ten-song summary of their early years, this can't be beat. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
