Format:Audio CD
I absolutely agree with the review below, this is the essential ZZ Top album, yet it was always only available on CD with absolutely dreadful '80s mastering. This version sounds fantastic - back to the gorgeous natural warmth of the vinyl version. Buy it now and destroy your other CD copy.

But those live bonus tracks, they are terrible. Very cruddy. Why oh why do remastered CDs always seem to have to include a bunch of terrible live bonus tracks that no-one wants and which, as the reviewer below says, just leave a nasty taste at the end of a classic album. I was going to knock off a star for this but just couldn't bring myself to, Tres Hombres is too good for 4 stars!

Now, please remaster the other early albums which received the same '80s hatchet job..

By Smitty Werbenjaegermanjensen (real name) TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A great place to start the remastered series of ZZ Top albums. The first time ZZ Tops albums came out on cd someone hammered the life out of them by adding really dodgy effects to the drum sound. Not so this time. The albums sound like they were recorded last week and have surpassed the original vinyl. The rhythm section are in stunning, nay telepathic, form on this outing.

The extra tracks are a mixed blessing. I reckon they ought to have been put onto an album of their own along with the live tracks from Fandango. They were recorded, if memory serves correctly, in the Capital Theatre, Passiac, New Jersey 1980. I have heard a couple of different bootlegs of this show and these do not sound as good on bootleg as they do here.

Overall a must buy album for lovers of good rockin' music.

This is one of the finest albums I own, I have it on vinyl and CD, and to be honest I prefer the vinyl version, the mix is better. That and there's a much needed pause after "Hot, Blue & Righteous" where you flip the disc over. I think that's one of the under rated masterpieces of ZZ Top.

I think the way this album takes you from the raucus foot stompin of "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers" to the really soft bluesy stuff that tugs on the heart strings was a sure sign that this was a band that'd go places, and places they have gone, and those places are good.

This is not just essential to a ZZ Top collection, but this album deserves a place in any rock & roll collection. If you have acess to a turn table it's worth getting the older ZZ Top stuff on vinyl too, if for nothing other than "collecting's" sake.

Tres Bien
The best, most consistent album by the band. The songs are great, but the guitar playing is exceptional - not flashy and doodly, but fly away groovy. Read more

Short, Catchy, and Cool
With plenty of catchy riffs, "Tres Hombres" is undeniably cool to listen to. And at its 33 minutes, the album doesn't get tiring. Read more

One of the great albums EVER!
Tres Hombres is an absolute riff and rhythm classic; partly because every track is as good as the next. Read more

Surely one of the greatest blues-rock albums ever made
My dad got me into ZZ Top. We used to listen to their stuff whenever we were driving somewhere, and to this day anything else I put on in the car sounds flat by comparison. Read more

Three blokes
Of the handful of ZZ Top albums I've heard, this one features Billy Gibbons's familiar dense guitar sound the least. The result is that it has more impact when it does appear. Read more

Excellent Album
Have been meaning to get this one on CD for ages and eventually got round to it. Had on cassette originally. Excellenty album - one of their best.

ZZ Top at the top!
Classsic zz top! Goes through a group of styles in arguably their best work. The only album I've ever preferred was fandango!

This is a great album! I love Sheik! I never thought I'd admit to liking ZZ Top but this is from their pre-MTV days and is really superb. Read more
