Formed in Houston, Texas, USA, in 1970, ZZ Top evolved out of the city's psychedelic scene and consist of 
Billy Gibbons (b. 16 December 1949, 
Houston, Texas, USA; guitar, vocals, ex-Moving Sidewalks), Dusty Hill 
(b. Joe Hill, 19 May 1949, Dallas, Texas, USA; bass, vocals) and Frank 
Beard (b. 11 June 1949, Frankston, Texas, USA; drums), the last two both 
ex-American Blues. ZZ Top's original line-up - Gibbons, Lanier Greig 
(bass) and Dan Mitchell (drums) - was also the final version of the 
Moving Sidewalks. This initial trio completed ZZ Top's debut single, 
"Salt Lick", before Greig was fired. He was replaced by Bill Ethridge. 
Mitchell was then replaced by Frank Beard while Dusty Hill subsequently 
joined in place of Ethridge. Initially ZZ Top joined a growing swell of 
southern boogie bands and started a constant round of touring, building 
up a strong following. Their debut album, while betraying a healthy 
interest in blues, was firmly within this genre, but Rio Grande Mud 
indicated a greater flexibility. It included the rousing "Francene" 
which, although indebted to the Rolling Stones, gave the trio their 
first hit and introduced them to a much wider audience.
