Behind The Song - 7 August 2024: *It took original thinking to make one of the best-selling albums of an entire decade, and that's just what ZZ Top did, although they had some help with coming up with the sound.

But there is an unsung hero in the ZZ Top story. Dig into it - and how "Sharp Dressed Man" perfectly sums up the 80's mindset - in this episode of the Behind The Song podcast.
