Biography

ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. For 51 years the band consisted of guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard and bassist and co-lead vocalist Dusty Hill, who was replaced (at his request) by the band's bass technician Elwood Francis after Hill's death on July 28, 2021. The band were formed by former [a684681] members Billy Gibbons and drummer Dan Mitchell with bassist Lanier Greig, which form they recorded debut single [m329083]. Mitchell and Greig were then almost immediately replaced by former [a1057516] drummer Frank Beard and Billy Etheridge respectively, finalising their classic line-up when Dusty Hill, another former member of American Blues, replaced Etheridge in February 1970, shortly before the band was signed to London Records. Etheridge's departure issued primarily from his unwillingness to be bound by a recording contract. Since the release of the band's debut album in January 1971, ZZ Top has become known for its strong blues roots and humorous lyrical motifs, relying heavily on double entendres and innuendo. ZZ Top's musical style has changed over the years, beginning with blues-inspired rock on their early albums, then incorporating New Wave, punk rock and dance-rock, with heavy use of synthesizers. ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. As a group, ZZ Top possesses 11 gold records and 7 platinum (13 multi-platinum) records; their 1983 album, Eliminator, remains the group's most commercially successful record, selling over 10 million units. ZZ Top also ranks 80th in U.S. album sales, with 25 million units.

LYRICS

A chili wind is blowing
And I'm all covered up
With despair and desperation
And it just won't let me up
It's come in time to face the truth
And somehow I got to find the strength to move
I gotta get up and get over you

Another dawn it breaking
And the people pass me by
And they don't know how hard I'm making
And there ain't no place to hide
I've got to find some resistance, forgetting your existence
I've got to get up and get over you

If I could have one more chance
With you by my side
You know I would take back that moment
When we said goodbye ooo yeah...

A chili wind is still blowing
And the sun it going down
And the streets are all in tears
And there not a soul around
It's coming time to face the truth
And it's so hard to say I I gotta to do
Somehow I got to get up and get over you
Ooh man ooo hey get over you hey get over you
I gotta get over you I gotta get over you ohhh...
