ZZ Top Biography (771 words)
They resumed their career in 1979 with the superb Deguello, by which time both Gibbons and Hill had grown lengthy beards (without each other knowing!).
Revitalized by their break, the trio offered a series of pulsating original songs on Deguello as well as inspired recreations of Sam And Dave's "I Thank You" and Elmore James' "Dust My Broom".
The transitional El Loco followed in 1981 and although it lacked the punch of its predecessor, preferring the surreal to the celebratory, the set introduced the growing love of technology that marked the trio's subsequent releases.
