The music world, has lost a legend as bassist Joe Michael "Dusty" Hill of the famed rock and roll trio ZZ Top has died at age 72. Dusty held the groove down in the power trio, which, since 1969 has been known as the "Little ol' band from Texas" and has thrilled audiences and sold millions of records, worldwide.
Guitarist Billy F. Gibbons, and drummer Frank Beard send their sympathies to their bandmate and longtime friend, and his family. To honor Dusty Hill's legacy, click above on ZZ Top's 1980 performance at Rockpalast in Germany, of the blues chestnut which they recorded and covered a lot, "Dust My Broom", a song that can be attributed as performed by blues legends such as Robert Johnson and Elmore James.
Rest In Peace, Dusty Hill. The music world and ZZ Top, will never, ever be the same. So fortunate I had the chance to witness their great music in person, at a 2005 concert at Grand Casino, Hinckley, in Hinckley, Minnesota. A memory that shall live on with me, forever. Rest In Peace, Dusty.
