ZZ Top released "Tres Hombres" in 1973, which reached the No. 8 position on the "Billboard 200" albums chart by early 1974. The album's sound was the result of the propulsive support provided by Hill and Beard, and Gibbons' "growling" guitar tone. Dan Erlewine wrote that the album "brought ZZ Top their first Top Ten record, making them stars in the process." The album included the boogie-driven "La Grange" (written about the Chicken Ranch, a notorious brothel in La Grange, Texas, that also inspired the musical "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"). On the subsequent tour, the band performed sold-out concerts in the US. ZZ Top recorded the live tracks for one side of their 1975 album, "Fandango!", during this tour. "Fandango!", which also contained one side of new studio songs, was a top-ten album; its single "Tush" peaked at number 20 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.
