ZZ Top at The Northern Lights Theater At Potawatomi Bingo Casino
As an episode of VH1 Storytellers with ZZ Top revealed earlier this year, there isn't much behind the Houston trio's music: The longest "backstory" behind any of the tunes was that of "Sharp Dressed Man," in which hirsute frontman Billy Gibbons proclaimed it was inspired by seeing "a homo" in his local bank. The grizzled band's bluesy rock hasn't exactly reinvented the wheel or itself in the last four decades, but at this point, ZZ Top has its share of firm believers and ingrained naysayers. Although the group hasn't been particularly prolific this decade (its last two releases were a greatest-hits compilation and a live album), it has vowed to get back on the bearded horse and release its 15th studio album later this year.
