"The very title of Goin' 50 suggests ZZ Top are considering their 50th anniversary as an event to be celebrated with a sense of humor. That's appropriate. Good spirits and lascivious jokes always have been integral to the trio's appeal, and they can be heard in abundance on this triple-CD/five-LP set that tells their story from beginning to end (there is also a single-disc edition that rounds up the highlights) ... if you want just the hits, look elsewhere, or grab the single-disc incarnation of this 2019 set - but Goin' 50 tells ZZ Top's story in detail, proving that the "Lil' Ol' Band from Texas" was one of America's great bands".
