Do you remember
back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues,
that's where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
in every county there,
I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw X
is cuttin' through the air.
Anywhere, y'all,
everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.
We can all thank Doctor B
who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
the first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
most each and every night
'cause if you don't I'm sure you won't
get to feeling right.

"Gracias por escuchada" after the song about Mexican radio stations. Nice touch. :-)

Holy crap, Jrozzelle!!! I really feel old. My first concert was The Beach Boys (and about three opening acts) at the Municipal Auditorium in downtown Nashville, 1964. My father drove me (age 10) and my sister (age 13) down there, dropped us off out front and said, "I'll meet you right here in a couple of hours." Talk about a different time! First of all, The Department of Human Services would impound my ass if I were to nowadays take a 13 year old and 10 year old and drop them off with the promise of returning a couple of hours later. But I did get to hear Help Me Rhonda and I Get Around and Brian Wilson was still touring with them.
We play a game sometimes at dinner parties called "Who did you hear at your first live concert." The winner is whoever saw the coolest band. My wife was at an early The Village People show in Las Vegas. I saw ZZ Top at the Charlotte Coliseum. Barring a surprise entry from our less-cool circle of friends, it always devolves into which of these two acts is the coolest. Arguable. But I'm sure the RP community will back me up.

I believe this as punk rock I've ever heard ZZ Top sound.

Seriously? Less than a 7? 🤔
A gajillion years ago as a DJ at my college radio station, KBSU, I was tasked with putting together a PSA (public service announcement). I wanted it to rock, so I chose a hefty instrumental chunk of "Heard it On The X" as the background music.
Imagine my surprise when our Production Director reviewed my cart and returned it with a sticky note on top that read, "Great. Supposed to be 30 seconds - you need to cut about 90 more seconds. Thanks."

So sad to hear of Dusty Hill's passing today. Rock it up there, big guy.
R.I.P. Dusty Hill
X-ROK 80 (Juarez, Mexico) was a staple for great music growing up in El Paso, TX in the late 70's. This song is about a different station based on an interview I heard with ZZTop members. A great tune that brings back memories.

I think they were the first band I ever saw in concert too, but only for about 1 song.
1972 - Cornell University football stadium. The lineup was Deep Purple, Family and some unknowns by the name of ZZ Top.
ZZ Top comes out and plays maybe 1 song and the sky opens up with buckets of rain and lightning. I was there with my older brother and his girlfriend and they immediately left so that was all I saw.
As it turned out after a short time the show was cancelled. People rushed the stage that was setup on the field with this newfangled stuff AstroTurf. They smashed up the stage and a lot of equipment and that was the first and last of the concert series. One song.
I was a big Allman Brothers fan and they were scheduled to be there in a couple weeks, but all future shows were cancelled. They ended up playing about 30 miles away at the Watkin's Glen race trace along with the Grateful Dead, The Band and about 600,000 fans at The Summer Jam. And no, I didn't go to Summer Jam. I was 14 at the time and my parents saw on the news what was going on in Watkin's Glen and said no way.
Not my first, but my most memorable: Dallas, Spring Break from Texas A&M, 1982, my best girl at my side. Fabulous Thunderbirds (that suffered from a "live" sound check during their performance), ZZ Top and the Rolling Stones. I kept that concert t-shirt until it was thread bare and the silk screen nearly worn off. I laugh now when I see kids wearing that Stones shirt. What a day (and night!).

Actually written as an ode to radio stations south of the border that don't have the same power limitations that US stations do. Hence, they can broadcast much further. The X refers to the first letter in the call letters of the station (i.e. XTRA) - traditionally W is east of the Mississippi, K is west, and X is south.
Back in the day, it was often the only way to hear some great rock n roll, especially guys like Wolfman Jack and others.
A current example of an "X" station is 91X in San Diego, who has their transmitter in Mexico...

Wolfman Jack on XERB was the joy of my young life. He was outrageous, funny and played really good music. The signal covered much of the US.

Been a long time since I heard this one... now realize how much I used to love ZZ Top before they got all glittery... Great memories of the World Wide Texas Tour -- complete with longhorn steer -- Keil Auditorium, St Louis, MO 1976'ish... mmm mmm that smell...

In 1975, the debate was: who was the better guitar playing band. ZZ Top or Mahogony Rush with Frank Moreno.

Been listen mostly all day and am thriving on all snappy upbeat stuff. Rock on Bill.
PS saw ZZ at S. Barbara bowl in '97 with G. Thorogood opening. George rocked. ZZ was kinda tepid. Wish George had stayed on but he couldn't even encore, as an opener.

Turn up yer ray-dee-o.
Ah...remember the heated debate: who was the better guitar band: ZZ Top or Mahogany Rush (Frank Marino's group).

I'm pretty sure Frank Beard still plays with ZZ Top. He may not have been on that solo album that Gibbons released a year or two ago.
I think the story goes something like:
Billy Gibbons was in the studio working on some new material, and the producer (Bill Hamm I believe?) talked Billy into cutting some tracks to programmed drums and bass. Thus was born Eliminator, and I believe Afterburner as well.
From what I understand the band wasn't too pleased about it, but luckily for fans, it didn't break up this great little band.
But honestly, Beards drumming is so machine like it could be hard to tell it wasn't programmed, even on some of the earliest stuff. Dude is good.
Oh, and I give this song a 9, because among other things its not my favorite of theirs, and I always felt it cut a little short. Got to leave room for "just got paid" Blue jean blues" "Driving while blind" "Ten dollar man" and to leave room for other favorites and great artists as well.

There's a band called Olivelawn that does a sped-up version of this...pretty punkish. check it.
Larga vida al Rock and Roll!!!!!
These guys could play.
Brings me back, one of the first ZZ Top songs I heard as a kid. Eventually I was able to see them kick off their Eliminator tour concert the first show in LA area in 1983.
damn cool
Great band that unfortunately pretty much phoned it in after "Eliminator" and "Afterburner."
Lived in LA. If we drove up some of the streets high into the San Gabriel mountains we could j u s t pick it up. XERB with Wolfman Jack.

The same subject matter as Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio." Wikipedia has a good article on the "border blasters" (click here) that explains who the "Doctor B" in the second verse was.
From the "Best Of" cd and this is the one you choose? Mute for 3 minutes.

The X in the call sign designates a transmitter outside the US, in Mexico.

Follow this with Jeck Beck's version of Rollin and Tumblin with Imogen Heap. Now that would be a nice set
Always loved this song though I was never very big into ZZ Top. And if this is not the theme song for XM radio I'll never understand why not.

A trendy popmagazine used it as an opening track on a pop encyclopaedia cd-rom they released. They said it units the present and past of popmusic because it's so tight, steady and exciting that it will also appeal to nowadays' Dance audience.
Who would've thought that?!
