Originally released in 1976, Tejas captures ZZ Top in a transitional phase, blending their gritty Texas blues roots with a more polished, melodic sound. This European CD reissue features the original 10-track lineup, including fan favorites like “It’s Only Love,” “Arrested For Driving While Blind,” and the instrumental closer “Asleep In The Desert.” Produced by Bill Ham and remastered for CD, this edition preserves the band’s signature swagger with enhanced clarity.
