ZZ Top: Rio Grande Mud

RIO GRANDE MUD is the second album by American blues-rock band ZZ Top, released in 1972. By this release, ZZ Top was honing the tough blues rock hybrid that would make it a certified U.S. arena headliner by the mid-seventies. While the album didn't spawn the big radio hits of it's later releases, RIO GRANDE MUD was another incredibly consistent and inspired ZZ Top classic.
