ZZ TOP - Rancho Texicano: Very Best of ZZ Top
I own both this 2 cd collection and the "Chrome, Smoke & BBQ" 4 cd
box. If you are a casual ZZ Top fan or want to add a ZZ Top album to
your collection, this 2 cd set is the way to go. The sound is superb
and track selection excellent. "Rancho Texicano" flat out smokes any
previous ZZ Top "greatest/best of" package of 2 cds or less. Plus, I
praise the "Gods" of boogie for not including ZZ Top's worst song ever,
"Heaven, Hell Or Houston", here. If you are more than a casual ZZ Top
fan, bordering on or crossing into die-hard territory (like me) skip
this set and drop the extra cash on the box set. The Moving Sidewalks
tracks are a must. And, even though disc four of the box is a little
weaker than the previous three, it is still essential ZZ Top. Finally,
if you have the extra cash around, buy both!
"Rancho Texicano" is much more user friendly for the car.
Rating? 10/10
