"ZZ Top's leadsinger and guitarist supercharges old-school originals and borrowings from the Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters songbooks with the urgency of someone whose age - he's not far from 70 - never will take sway on his lifelong ardor for the blues. Crank up the volume and experience an adrenal surge comparable to a ride on an elevator that's descending too fast".

"The Big Bad Blues delivers just what the title promises: slow blues rumbles, down-and-dirty blues rockers, playful lyrics and scalding guitar and harp work ... The Big Bad Blues gives us Gibbons at his very best".
