ZZ Top is one of the more interesting bands in the American rock scene, one that has sold tens of millions of records, and one with an instantly identifiable sound and a perhaps even more instantly identifiable look, but one which may not have penetrated into the mass public consciousness enough that anyone who is not a diehard fan of the band would be able to even name its three members, let alone offer any biographical information about any of them. Fans of course would be able to list off Dusty Hill, Billy F Gibbons and Frank Beard* within seconds, but even some of those selfsame fans might not be able to list much biographical data beyond those names. For anyone in either of those categories (non-fan or fan), ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band from Texas may be an agreeable information dump of sorts, giving a glut of datapoints on what the back cover of this release probably correctly states as being “the extraordinary tale of a band whose image we know, but whose story we don’t.”

One of the many talking heads in this piece mentions how ZZ Top’s early music videos created almost an aura of mystery, distancing the trio from the audience in a way, and that in and of itself may help to account for how little seems to be generally known about these guys. This very appealing documentary may not provide a bunch of “early childhood” biography, but it really has some hugely entertaining archival video and reminiscences from all three that get into their early music making activities, as well as their eventual formation and success as ZZ Top. There’s also some touching content given to their longtime manager Bill Ham, who passed away recently. Some of the anecdotes are kind of funny, including their recounting of their own first encounter with MTV, which they initially mistook to be some kind of special, watching for untold hours and wondering when it was finally going to end.

*It’s always struck me as a little funny that Frank Beard is the one without “the beard”.
