Some of the hippie-dippiest lyrics ever committed to vinyl ('Atomic Mushroom'), but his guitar and vocals rise above that.

He has some pretty wild stuff on the Brazil 70 comp. I highly recommend it if you haven't already heard it.

Has this been reissued or do you have an original?

I don't have the original. This one has a couple bonus tracks (a Jimi Hendrix song plus 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band').

Yeah, the Brazil 70 comp is a favorite of mine. That and the Tropicalia comp had me looking for everything I could find by Gilberto Gil, Jorge Ben, Os Mutantes, et al.

This might be better than the original Nuggets. Great stuff.

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I've been listening to ZZ Top's first 6 albums. It's occurred to me that today a band described as 'blues rock' would be the last thing I'd want to listen to, but I love those old ZZ Top records.

Why stop at six? Push ahead to eight. Sleeping Bag is the jam.

"Sleeping Bag" is actually on the ninth ZZ Top album, Afterburner.

Excuse the nerdiness, but as you might've guessed from my username, ZZ Top is my favorite American rock band. I don't think they get credit for just how tasteful and quirky and funny their stuff is, even before they got to Eliminator and all of the (great) videos that we've all seen a million times.

Their discography hit a bit of a rough patch after Eliminator, but their 12th album, Rhythmeen, is one of their very best. I highly recommend it, and I'm sure you can find it in the cheap bin of any used record store you care to visit.
