ZZTOP - BLUE JEAN BLUES

Throwback Thursday

Now when I say Throwback Thursday, I am not talking about the year 2000 - although some would say twenty years is long enough.  I am going back to the 70's and before.  

There is a new Netflix documentary on ZZTOP that inspired this first tune in this category.  These guys have had a long and interesting run.  Although they are known for cars and a few of their popular hits, I prefer this.  Blue Jean Blues is a laid back classic blues with some great guitar and not something you would think of when ZZ TOP comes to mind.

This tune was on the original Fandango album which came out in '75 and also had I Heard it on the X, and a cover of Jailhouse rock.

Jeff Healy covered this years later and that is also worth a listen -- but I still prefer the original.
