Buckle your seat belts Houston. The Boyzz are at home New Year's Eve in Compaq Center!
The part-live, part-studio makeup of ZZ Top's new album, XXX, evokes memories of an earlier work from the little ol' band from Texas.
For the most part , XXX is a clean, stripped down ZZ Top, more reminiscent of Tres Hombres than their Eliminator period. "That Little Band from Texas" shows it can still deliver muy mas blues-tinged boogie..

Their setlist contains songs from ZZ Top's "First Album" up to their latest

his heart and his roots firmly planted in our favorite musical genre'.
