One Foot in the Blues
One Foot in the Blues is a compilation from the American band ZZ Top, released on 22 November 1994 by Warner Bros. Records. Rather than rounding up the hits in order, it pulls together the songs from their catalogue that lean towards the blues, a reminder that beneath the boogie and southern rock swagger there was always a firm blues foundation.
It sits alongside their 1994 studio album Antenna, and draws on a good stretch of their career. Tracks from Degüello, El Loco, Eliminator and Recycler appear in their original form, while the rest use the 1987 digital remixes. For anyone who knows the band mainly from the Eliminator years, it's a handy way to hear the more rooted side of the group in one sitting.
