Tejas (album)

Tejas is the fifth album by the American rock band ZZ Top, released in late November 1976. The title is the modern Spanish word for Texas, the band's home state.

Background and release

Tejas was produced by Bill Ham and recorded and mixed by Terry Manning. In 1987, a digitally remixed version of the recording was released on CD and the original 1976 mix version was discontinued. The remix version created controversy among fans because it significantly changed the instrument balance and the sound of the instruments, especially the drums.

Tejas was released as a digital download on Amazon.com's MP3 store and iTunes in 2012, with the original mixes of the tracks that are on Chrome, Smoke & BBQ, and the 1987 remixes of the tracks that are not from that boxset. The original mix of the album was released on CD in June 2013 as part of the box set The Complete Studio Albums (1970-1990).

Track listing

All songs written and composed by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, except where noted.
