On the turntable this Sunday...Rio Grande Mud


Rio Grande Mud is the second album by the American blues rock band ZZ Top, was released in 1972. 


The album title was inspired by the Rio Grande, the river that forms the border between Mexico and Texas.

In 1987, the album was remixed for CD release. On January 11, 2011, Rhino released a remastered version from the original 1972 mix on vinyl only. This album was put up for download on Amazon.com's MP3 store and iTunes as a digital download in 2012, and features 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).
