Info:

Rio Grande Mud ranks right up there with Tres Hombres and Deguello as ZZ Top's finest work. Their debut was good, but Rio Grande Mud is many times better. It rocks harder and the songs are better. Billy Gibbons' guitar smokes throughout the album! The little band from Texas really began to hit their peak with this album. This is the way blues rock is supposed to be played. However, the follow up to this record, Tres Hombres, is even better.
This great album deserves a better CD though. It was remixed with heavy echo and synthesized drums. It really needs a new CD with the mix from the original vinyl record. The music deserves 5 stars, but the CD does not.
