Cool sounding album eh! The sound of the band around this time is described usually as being boogie blues rather than a straight-up blues rock. ZZ Top were highly distinctive especially with Billy Gibbons' strangled sounded vocals. What's so good about Tres Hombres is that it was the album where the band finally released a studio record to match their live reputation.

Which version of Tres Hombres did you listen to?

Up till 2006 you could only get the awful 80s remixed album on CD.

Yeah it was the only one I could get. I tried for the original 73 version but no dice: none of the torrents would work. So I ended up getting the "expanded, remastered edition". Probably lost something there (the sound level was very low I thought), but still an excellent album, whatever version you listen to...

Oh you're OK then, the expanded remastered version IS the original 73 recordings.

Z.Z. Top scares the hell out of me.

They're scarier than psychotic circus clowns riding around in midget cars.

Scarier than truck stop waitresses with beehive hairdos and rhinestone studded eyeglasses.

Scarier than guys with snake tattoos all over their faces.

Okay... that's it... I've covered everything that scares me.

Maybe I should try the hat, shades, long beard combo.

You look at pictures of them from 30 years ago and they look exactly the same.

I don't really know how much music I listen to would be classified as "classic" but if you haven't heard Maggot Brain by Funkadelic it definitely needs to go onto your list.

A quick bit of trivia here. The only member of ZZ Top that doesn't have a beard and has never had a beard with the band as far as I know, happens to be the drummer who is called Frank Beard strangely enough.

I've also got the remastered cd version, I don't think I've ever heard the remix that Urban was referring to.
