 Billy, Frank, and Dusty Head for the Border
Mescalero is the latest installment in an unparalleled resume that stretches back to 1969 when the group was founded in Houston out of the key components of The Moving Sidewalks (Gibbons) and The American Blues (Hill and Beard).
Mescalero includes sixteen tracks (fifteen of which were written for the album plus one cover song) for a total running time of approximately 63 minutes; the band refers to the album's length as "a buck and change." The album was produced by Billy F Gibbons and Lone Wolf Production Company.
Beyond the Mescalero originals, the album includes "Tramp," the proto-rap R&B classic, written by Lowell Fulsom and Jimmy McCracklin, that was a hit duet for Otis Redding and Carla Thomas in 1967.

 Rough Edge: ZZ Top CD Reviews
"Mescalero" is a true ZZ Top classic, with the veteran band delivering sixteen(!) tracks of smoldering blues that smoke their way out of your stereo speakers like the delicious aroma of thick juicy steaks from underneath your closed barbeque lid.
"Mescalero" may very well be their best album in more than a decade.
The sound is gritty and bluesy although the bearded boys slick this album up with a little more shine than before, so that gives it something extra.

 MESCALERO/BD+HR TOUR (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Mescalero is the result of many months of planning, writing, woodshedding, experimentation and recording and represents another major milestone in a remarkable career that encompasses an amazing 34 years of American rock and roll history from these eternal icons of rock, blues and boogie.
Beyond the Mescalero originals, the album includes "Tramp," the proto-rap RandB classic, written by Lowell Fulsom and Jimmy McCracklin, that was a hit duet for Otis Redding and Carla Thomas in 1967.
The 16 tracks on Mescalero range from blues-rock to neo-metal to crypto-zydeco to boogie flavored vamps, even including a country inflected ballad and a healthy dose of Tex-Mex. “Que Lastima,” the album’s techno-mariachi anthem, is sung entirely in Spanish.

But, as this album ably demonstrates, that love continues to be informed by a restless sonic creativity that keeps it remarkably fresh.
While many of their albums have a couple of clunkers, there are no such animals on this one.
This album continues the trend started with Rhythmeen, easily one of the strongest albums in the whole ZZ catalog, and features some of the strongest songwriting in years.

This Album was Nominated for, "Best Native World Music Album of the Year" by the Native American Music Awards.

 ZZ TOP's “Mescalero” Set for September Release
Los Angeles — RCA Records has announced that Mescalero, ZZ TOP's long awaited album of new material will be released worldwide September 8th and in the U.S. September 9th.
Originally slated to be released this past spring, the album was postponed in the wake of a realignment of the label and a desire to platform the album's launch with the strongest possible campaign.
Not content to rest on their laurels, the band has taken something of a cutting edge approach on the new album in both sonic and compositional terms.

 CycleForums - New CD Review (9/10/03): ZZ TOP's "Mescalero"
Billy, Dusty, and Frank are back after a 3-year hiatus with "Mescalero", their new CD which feature 16 (yes, sixteen) songs (and a bonus, unlabeled song after track #16) which comprises easily over an hour of music (I believe that this makes "Mescalero" the longest ZZ album ever made).
The result with most of the tracks on the CD is that his rhythm guitar most of the time seems like mush...it all just runs together and it's hard to actually hear anything but a lot of fuzz.
As far as the good songs go, there's plenty of them on here...none of them will probably wind up on the "Classic ZZ Top Song List", but they are some pretty good tunes in their own right.

 Mescalero by ZZ Top CD
Still chugging along three decades after members of Houston garage bands the Moving Sidewalks and the American Blues united in 1970, this little ol' band from Texas makes its mark on 2003 with MESCALERO, the trio's first album in four years.
As one of the first blues-rock power trios to fuse synthesizers with their straightforward brand of boogie, ZZ Top continues down this same path throughout these 16 songs.
MESCALERO is ZZ Top's first great recording since EL LOCO.

 village voice > music > ZZ Top's Mescalero by Dave Queen
Mescalero is structured like a blues show with really old guys—unsurprisingly as the ZZ arc = Stones arc reversed (i.e., Deguello/El Loco/Eliminator = Exile/Bleed/Beggars).
) The new album's first third is Afterburner-type stuff (i.e., "chords"), except with vocoders.
Quite a lot of Mescalero is in Spanish, which leads me to believe it will play a major role in Project Eliminator in the bloody early days of New Aztlan.

 ZZ Top - Mescalero @ Blogcritics.org
So, in the middle of Christmas shopping, I bought myself a little present: ZZ Top's Mescalero.
Fans of the early Top sound won't be disappointed with the scorchin' boogie of "Crunchy", the good 'ole ZZ-style blues of "Buck Nekkid" or the twisty rock of "Liquor" (which gets my vote for "Bestest 'n Funnest Update of 'La Grange'").
The album ends with a nice hidden track: a cover of "As Time Goes By".

 Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Mescalero, ZZ Top, CD
But don't let that marimba on the title track confuse you -- this isn't a crossover record any more than Eliminator was.
Powered by titles like "Buck Nekkid" and "Me So Stupid," along with an onslaught of suggestive single-word titles -- "Piece," "Tramp," "Dusted," "Liquor" -- Mescalero aims to unleash the boogie chile within.
