ZZ TOP, the Texan classic rockers, have been around for 45 years now, and they are far from tired. In 2014, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard are still rocking the stages on their "La Futura Tour 2014" with their bushy beards, leaving a trail of destruction behind. Still performing in their original lineup after decades of rock history, their stops this time include Cologne, Stuttgart, and Saarbrücken. On this occasion, there is now the Best-of Compilation "The Very Baddest Of", featuring the greatest hits from their musical history.

The double CD contains 40 songs, along with a richly illustrated booklet filled with many images from the past. Unfortunately, there is no booklet with lyrics, but ZZ Top is less about the lyrics (which mostly revolve around women :p) and more about the unmistakable sound of this band, which is rarely found these days. ZZ Top has always defied all trends in the music scene. The release includes both the slightly older blues rock numbers and the synthesizer-infused tracks known from the eighties. You won't miss out on anthems like "Cheap Sunglasses, "Sharp Dressed Man, and "Legs". Well-known songs like "Pincushion", "I Thank You", "Rough Boy", "Pearl Necklace", "La Grange", and "Just Got Paid" are also featured on the double CD. Songs like "Gimme All Your Loving" are a must-have at any party, and as a timeless classic, you will also find the Elvis cover "Viva Las Vegas". From the newer songs, "Rhythmeen", "Mescalero", and "XXX" can be found on the compilation.

The "Very Baddest Of" is a must for every record collector and fan of "beards, blues, and boogie". The fact that the bushy beards have now turned gray does not make the guys doubt for a minute whether they should retire. The guitars are still smoking, and the leather outfits still fit like on the first day!
