Fireball Ministry walk it and talk it, and could chew gum while doing both. They may not be the first church of rock and roll, but they’re high in the running.
ZZ Top are my favorite band and I play their first five albums weekly. Five Horse Johnson is the only band who can make a week without spinning those LPs OK.
It’s kinda cool how some of these bands have worked this stuff back to the root heritage, proving how good the songs are when you scrape the sheen off.
