So, in honor of Vegas, I’m posting the photos along with a few Viva Las Vegas covers. There’s a nice version by The Boss, Shawn Colvin’s version from The Big Lebowski, and the classic Dead Kennedy’s version. However, the cream of the crop is the ZZ Top version. I’d never heard it before this week but I’ve been blown away by it. My ZZ Top knowledge doesn’t extend beyond the mega hits, but I’m thinking about changing that. Anyone have a suggestion as to where to start?
Elvis – Viva Las Vegas
ZZ Top – Viva Las Vegas (Highly Recommended!!!)
Bruce Springsteen – Viva Las Vegas
The Dead Kennedys – Viva Las Vegas
Shawn Colvin – Viva Las Vegas
The Grascals – Viva Las Vegas

Give \’Tres Hombres\’ and the latest \’Mescalero\’ a try. So many of the disks are different that to suggest what you might like is hard to do. They all have that certain sound that makes me come back everytime but the styles are wildly different throughout the catalouge. \’Deguello\’ is a safe bet also I think. If you really like that filthy distortion that Billy\’s gone to for the last decade or so \’Rhythmeen\’ is a good bet.
