This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of billy gibbons (guitar), dusty hill (bass), and frank beard (drums). Rio Grande Mud is the band's second album, originally released in 1972. It continues the blues-rock sound sketched out on their debut but with heavier, more powerful songs, including 'just got paid', 'bar-b-q' and the guitar slide workout 'apologies to pearly'.
