Used Grooves Podcast: “Your soundtrack to vinyl culture.”

Used Grooves Episode 6: ZZ Top – Tres Hombres Eddie and Uncle Geo are back in the crates for Episode 6 of Used Grooves, digging into ZZ Top’s 1973 breakthrough album, Tres Hombres. From the gritty Texas blues swagger of “La Grange” to the deep grooves, sharp riffs, and dusty roadside energy that made this record a classic, the guys break down why Tres Hombres helped turn ZZ Top into one of rock’s most iconic power trios. Drop the needle, turn it up, and join us as we revisit the album that brought the boogie, the beards, and the blues-rock fire. From the crates to classics — this is Used Grooves.

Used Grooves is going corporate… Tubes style. On this episode, Eddie and Uncle Geo pull The Tubes’ 1981 album The Completion Backward Principle from the crates and dive into one of rock’s strangest, slickest, and most satirical records. Released as the band’s first album for Capitol Records and produced by David Foster, this record turned corporate culture, motivational business speak, and rock theatrics into a full-blown concept experience. From “Talk to Ya Later” to “Don’t Want to Wait Anymore,” the guys break down the sound, style, humor, and weird brilliance that made The Tubes stand out in the early ’80s. It’s part rock album, part business seminar, and all Used Grooves. Drop the needle, update your credentials, and remember: credibility, growth, direction.
