Hard core ZZ Top and Texas Blues fans know who Rocky Hill is. Very few others do, however, and that's a shame.Tracklist:
Rocky Hill was the brother of ZZ Top bass player and vocalist Dusty Hill, and in fact played in a psychedelic Blues band with Dusty in the late 60's. That band, a trio called American Blues, also included a certain drummer by the name of Frank Beard. Right there you had two-thirds of the future ZZ Top ready to go.
After the band broke up (with three albums to their credit) Beard joined a band being put together by a guitar player/singer named Billy Gibbons. When their bass player left Beard suggested his American Blues bandmate Dusty Hill, and the rest is history.
Left behind was Rocky Hill, a guitar player of great ability. What became evident as the years went by was that he was also a very solid singer and songwriter as well. And yet he never attempted to capitalize on his brother's success. He continued to play his brand of Blues but recorded few albums (despite having the opportunities to do so), and didn't stray too far from his Texas home to play live gigs.
Rocky Hill died on April 10, 2009 at the age of 62, a largely unknown figure in the music world.
He did, however leave a few albums as a testament to his talent, one of which was 1988's Rocky Hill.
Produced by ZZ Top producer Bill Ham, Rocky Hill features a warm, smooth as silk production job unlike anything Ham had done since ZZ Top's best work in the 70's. Sonically, the album sounds the most like the Top's Deguello album. A mostly clean guitar tone with warmth and personality is the centerpiece, along with Rocky's whiskey soaked, almost Hendrixian vocals.
