On April 4, 1972, ZZ Top released their second album, Rio Grande Mud. The record is best known as home to the longtime concert favorite “Just Got Paid,” which features a particularly thrilling slide guitar showcase from Billy Gibbons. ZZ Top’s First Album hadn’t made much of an impression on the charts when it came out the year before, but Mud‘s lead track, “Francine,” which featured vocals from bassist Dusty Hill, made a bit of a dent, becoming their first charting single. (Things wouldn’t really bust open for the group until 1973’s Tres Hombres.)A vintage advertisement for the second LP declares that the band’s reputation “has literally exploded throughout the South and Southwest,” and a Rolling Stone review written shortly after the album’s release seems to agree the trio is worthy of bigger things, stating that ZZ Top “churn out sizzling electrical blues in a style not far removed from John Mayall‘s original Blues breakers and early Fleetwood Mac” and promising, “With wider airplay and a little promotion, ZZ Top could … reach the top
