ZZ Top Pedal Steel

Post by David Pinkston »

Guess I missed it in 1970 when it came out.. but just heard the first ZZ Top record again and "Somebody Else Been Shakin' Your Tree" has pedal steel on it. Very basic but there it is.. wonder if Billy Gibbons played it. I only have the download and not the credits so not sure.. interesting.

You wanna hear some great ZZ with some great steel check out the hidden track on mescelaro. Dugmore playing "as time goes by" gibbons doing his thing over it. It is amazing. That whole record is amazing.
