Tres Hombres
Fandango!is the early Top classic. It's all killer, no filler, even if half of it is live. Any record with "Tush" and "Heard It on the X" deserves its classic rock status.Tres Hombresdoesn't quite match its rep: "Jesus Just Left Chicago" is back porch blues made for the arena, "La Grange" kicks open the door of the whorehouse, and "Waitin' for the Bus" is the best James Gang impression by a band actually from Texas. But the rest doesn't haveFandango!'s nerve orEl Loco's sophomoric wit, which is what every band needs when the gimmick starts to run dry.--Robert Wilonsky
