Reason 1: The type Siche bone dry, warm sound of previous albums has been modernized to Degüello. A risky business, could have go wrong, but fits like fout the eye to the songs.
Ingenious delicacies: ZZ Top playing a sleber the saxophones, and besides Harp fits nothing better than just blues saxophone.
Reason 2: incredible compositions. Already the previous albums ahtten great songs. But Degüello probably the Zenith.
Whether Hifi Mom, Thank You, Fool for your Stockings, Cheap Sunglasses, She Loves My Automobile or I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide: all compositions that earn 7 (out of 5) points!
And that of ZZ Top Cover Dust My Broom awesome arranged fits great with the truly amazing good Eigenkompositioen of ZZ Top. On top of the whole thing is still very varied. From traditional Dust My Broom about the firecracker Hi Mommy by quieter Esther Be The One a wide range is represented.
Degüello is one of the best rock / blues albums ever recorded. Anyone that can escape, is your own fault. ;-)
