The Moving Sidewalks - The Pre-ZZ Houston Roots (1994)












This band shouldn’t need any introductions, The Moving Sidewalks had in it’s ranks one Billy Gibbons, who would along with Dusty Hill and Frank Beard from American Blues go on to form ZZ Top. They released Flash in 1968, one of the best psychedelic albums to come out of Texas. I wish there were some details about this release to share, but the fact is I don’t know squat except that the cover suggests the master tapes were used and it has some unreleased tracks along with the whole Flash album. The sound is very good so they might not be yankin’ my chain on the master tapes thing. Highly recommended!
