ZZ Top a/k/a "That Little Ol' Band From Texas," lays claim to being the longest running major rock band with original personnel intact. In 2004, the trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard have been together for more than 45 years on the road and in the studio. Their third album, 1973's Tres Hombres, catapulted them to national attention with the hit "La Grange," still one of the band's signature pieces today. Their next hit was "Tush," released in 1975. Billy, Dusty and Frank became icons in videos that highlighted three smash singles: "Gimme All Your Lovin', "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs." As a touring unit, they've been without peer over the years, having performed before millions of fans through North America on numerous epochal tours as well as overseas. Their iconography – beards, cars, girls and that magic keychain – transcend all bounds of geography and language. Last year saw the release of ZZ Top's Live! Greatest Hits From Around The World album, consisting of 15 songs recorded live in 13 cities across three continents. ZZ Top's music is always instantly recognizable, eminently powerful, profoundly soulful and 100% Texas American in derivation.
