ZZ Top: A Tribute from Friends
Show Dog-Universal
Covering ZZ Top takes balls. Their songs have a lot of soul and if one is lacking in that area, then it clearly shows. The trio crafted songs that sonically resonated beyond the visual imagery of their famous videos. Produced by ZZ Top, along with Carl Stubner, the 11-track work re-purposes that imagery with a cavalcade of voices, canvassing robust material as all-stars ( The M.O.B. featuring Mick Fleetwood, Steven Tyler, Jonny Lang and John McVie cover “Sharp Dressed Man”) rising superstars (a lusty Grace Potter & the Nocturnals roar through “Tush”), behemoth rock monoliths ( Mastodon on a raging “Just Got Paid”) and a cool breeze of modern textures ( Wyclef Jean breathes new life into “Rough Boy”) help round out a vibrant tribute album.
