Though it’s far from the last word on ZZ Top, “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” fills in the nuts and bolts, giving you enough of a glimpse of how it all happened to make it seem like a down-home rock ‘n’ roll mirage come true. Read full review

ZZ Top: That Little Ol’Band from Texas is a straight, no-chaser band biography documentary, lacking flash and big name peers singing their praises and expert testimony to park them in their rightful place in music history. Read full review

A good-natured ride at first, its limited scope grows more apparent as it goes; still, a feel-good approach is unlikely to hurt it as it begins a road-show release concurrent with the band's 50th-anniversary tour. Read full review

I have always loved the music, but I thought they were the conservative country music equivalent of a rock band. This movie showed me how absolutely true their commitment has been to creatively interpreting rock, blues, and Texas. I really enjoyed it. I did not know how crazy/psychedelic they were.
