Great article! Isn’t it Ray Wylie Hubbard who in one of his talking blues songs calls the 13th Floor Elevators the greatest rock and roll band ever?!

“They made some great music.”
No doubt about it. But I prefer it to be mixed in with other more mellow tunes. :) A solid diet of ZZ makes me nervous.

One wouldn't know from listening to this song that Fever Tree was a Texas group, but they hailed from Houston. This was a hit in San Francisco and reached #91 on the Billboard Hot Hundred.

I had a ‘65 Impala like that, only it wasn’t a convertible. I drove it a quarter million miles.

So 1968! Just another piece of evidence supporting my theory that the most interesting things happen lower than then the Billboard 40!

If there aren’t enough dead bugs in your 4” x 10” dashboard speaker (singular), ZZTop just doesn’t sound right.

“If there arent enough dead bugs in your 4 x 10 dashboard speaker...ZZTop just doesnt sound right.”
Hey! This is a GREAT quote!
and don’t you think Duck Dynasty has done ZZ Top’s career:)
They aught to invite them on the show;)

They were known as the Bostwick Vines when I was a kid.

It’s interesting in part because it includes pictures of a clean-shaven Billy Gibbons. By the time I became aware of ZZ Top in the late ‘70s, he and Dusty already had chest-length beards.

So 1968! Just another piece of evidence supporting my theory that the most interesting things happen lower than the Billboard 40!Here's to You by Hamilton Camp was one of my favorite songs at the time, but although it was a hit in Los Angeles, it only "bubbled under" the Bilboard Hot Hundred, reaching #118 in April, 1968.
My World Fell Down by Sagittarius is one of my favorite songs from 1967, but it only reached #70 in the early summer of that year.
In November, 1966, Smashed! Blocked! by John's Children was a hit in Los Angeles, but nowhere else--it didn't even "bubble under" the Hot Hundred. To me, it was downright shocking as well as mystifying because it was so different from most everything else on Top 40 radio.
Also in the late fall of 1966, Chris Clark's Love's Gone Bad, released on a Motown subsidiary failed to make the Hot Hundred, but it reached #41 on the R & B charts.

Roky Erickson and the electric jug. I used to watch them when they came on the R&R dance show on Saturday morning in San Antonio. The 13th Floor Elevators were just cool.
To: InvisibleChurch
I really like the 70’s hard rockin’ Roky Erickson, some great hard dark rock. What a voice.
