A documentary about the Texan trio that begins the story in the pre-
ZZ days, delving into each band member's musical history before moving onto
ZZ Top's actual formation and their slow rise to stardom. At time of writing, the band are still touring and recording, but the film's focus comes to an end around the hugely successful
Eliminator (1983) era, with its stylised music videos.
In addition to the interviews and archive footage there's live recording studio stuff that in all likelihood was as easy as pie for the artists but nevertheless sounds like
ZZ on top form. Directed by
Sam Dunn, it's an interesting account in all respects, but the studio sessions are worth the price of admission alone.
