In 1972, ZZ Top released their second album, which, while not containing many hits, set the stage for their truly groundbreaking TRES HOMBRES album the following year. Recorded at Robin Hood's studio in Tyler, Texas, and produced by Bill Ham, who had already produced the cleverly titled first album (ZZ TOP'S FIRST ALBUM) and spun the knobs on TRES HOMBRES, RIO GRANDE MUD showed that ZZ Top's sound was still more or less the same, but also that they weren't afraid to change it up now and then. The result was a ten-song collection of songs - all co-written by Billy Gibbons - that paid homage to cars ("Chevrolet"), food ("Bar-B-Q"), alcohol ("Whiskey'n Mama") and, of course, women. The only single released from the album was called "Francine", and although it didn't make the Top 40, it climbed the Billboard Hot 100, reaching 69. RIO GRANDE MUD reached #104 on the Billboard 200, which is a pretty good result considering that the group's debut album didn't chart at all. However, as already mentioned, the album mainly strengthened the band's momentum: when TRES HOMBRES was released, it reached the Top 10.
