“Tush” was the only single from ZZ Top’s fourth album Fandango!. It reached number 20 on the pop chart. The song is a twelve-bar blues in the key of G. The recording was produced by Bill Ham, and recorded and mixed by Terry Manning. The title is a double entendre, referring both to slang for buttocks and slang for “luxurious” or “lavish”, according to a 1985 interview with Dusty Hill in Spin Magazine. It is also one of the ZZ Top songs on Fandango! sung by bassist Dusty Hill, the others being “Jailhouse Rock”, “Balinese”, and “Heard It on the X” (on which he and guitarist Billy Gibbons trade off vocals). The song was named the 67^th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. Read on...
