Back before the beards and the 80s Synthesizer period (Eliminator, Afterburner & Recycler albums) ZZ Top was a strong blues trio from Texas and their 1973 release made their name known. This particular Chicago-style blues song is so full of feeling showing a side of Billy Gibbons' guitar style that is often overlooked when thinking of this musician today. The religious aspect of the song is not the typical usage of religious themes in blues songs, but rather a device to get to one of the best puns I've heard in a song with Jesus turning Muddy Waters into wine, all in all a great song.
