Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before they became masters of global arena rock, this Texas trio established their foundation on this raw, incredibly focused set of electric blues and boogie-rock. The record is defined by Billy Gibbons' tight, inventive lead guitar work and the group's signature dusty, understated grooves. It set the template for the band's lifelong commitment to a disciplined, no-frills take on the blues-rock genre.
