The LeBrain Train: 2000 Words or More with Mike Ladano
Episode 45 – “Season Two” Premier
It’s 2021, and that makes it an even 50 years since ZZ Top released their First Album. There is such a rich catalogue of rock, blues and jams far beyond what you hear on the radio. Join LeBrain, Aaron from the KMA and Kevin from Buried On Mars, as we explore ZZ Top’s deeper cuts. Songs you may have missed if you didn’t buy the albums. We’ll be running down multiple Nigel Tufnel Top Ten lists tonight, so you’d better be taking notes!
For those who like to show up early, I will be doing an unboxing. There are five CDs in this box from Encore Records, from two different artists. Trying to complete some collections. Curious? Then you’ll wanna be there early, before the official 7:00 PM show start.
I’ll also be playing a new music video on the show — a brand new version of “Hodder To Hell” by Current River!
After a few weeks of fun seasonal shows, I’m eager to get back to some rock and roll! 50 years of ZZ Top is the perfect excuse to do an episode dedicated to the best lil’ band from Texas. Best of all, it’s free! It doesn’t matter if you Just Got Paid today, or if you’re Lowdown in the Street. This is a show for everyone so come on board the LeBrain tonight for some ZZ Top.
7:00 PM E.S.T.

ZZ Top has been around for 50 years?!?! Dang! I’ll be there and for the unboxing too. I only know about ZZ Top because they were supposed to go on tour with Def Leppard and since I have zero knowledge on them, this should be interesting!

More than 50, though they did disband (geddit?) for while. When they met up again, Billy and Dusty had both grown their now-trademark beards.
And the surname of the drummer is Beard.

Well, they never “disbanded” (broke up), they took a two year break.

Oh yeah I heard about that guy, Frank Beard right? He’s the only one without a beard, which is funny!

I hope you like this one Lana. ZZ Top were and are a great band. Blues-based rock and roll with wicked licks.

Looking forward to this. I have been listening to some of the early years stuff so can’t wait to hear what people picked. I just don’t have enough intimate knowledge of them to do a deep cut list.

I finished my list last night and I’m pretty happy with it. Truthfully I could have done 3 or 4 lists.

I am sure you could. Not too much I don’t like from them.

maybe take on a challenge and name the bottom top three from the band since like Snowman said there are not much to not to like.
Billy Gibbons: “Same three guys, right here. Same three chords right here. And we’ve been doing this for 35 years.” now quick count on which year that was said since they have been together forever.

I’ll be there but, not gonna lie, once again being limited to 11 tracks was damned bloody difficult!
