American Blues were an American 1960s Texas-based garage rock band, who played a psychedelic style of blues rock music influenced by the 13th Floor Elevators. They are most notable for including two future members of the band ZZ Top in their ranks, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. From 1966 to 1968, they played the Dallas-Fort Worth-Houston circuit and headlined in three clubs all called "The Cellar", in Dallas at clubs such as "The Walrus" on Mockingbird Lane, and in Houston at "Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine" on Allen's Landing, as late as 1968.
Around 1968 the band (the two Hill brothers and Beard) decided to leave the Dallas–Fort Worth area, relocating to Houston. At this time, however, guitarist Rocky Hill wanted to focus on "straight blues", while his brother Dusty wanted the band to rock more. Rocky left the band, and the remaining two members joined the recently formed ZZ Top.
Rocky Hill continued to tour around Texas, and elsewhere, becoming one of a number of guitarists well-known within the state for their blues guitar prowess, such as Rocky Athis and Charlie Sexton. In this role, his playing in Austin was said to have been an influence on guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan's formative years, as well. He sometimes referred to himself as "The Anti-Clapton", and one writer with the Houston Press called Rocky "perhaps the wildest and scariest – both onstage and off – of all the Texas white-boy blues guitarists."
And to never see your face again Read the omens or face consequences That trigger disaster in the blink of an eye I spy a tidal wave, head for the hills and pray that we survive Your hands are red, Your lies are white My tongue is tied Another classic case of the American blues Your fiction spread, your twisting lines Now write it down Another classic crime and are you wrongfully accused? I’m throwing coins, my wishes never came So many coins darling, but who’s to blame I’d make them all mine in the blink of an eye She sighs, you’ll be sorry running back to me when karma comes your way Your hands are red, Your lies are white My tongue is tied Another classic case of the American blues Your fiction spread, your twisting lines Now write it down Another classic crime and are you wrongfully accused? Are we damned or just terrified to watch this world turn over and die? Your hands are red, Your lies are white My tongue is tied Another classic case of the American blues Your fiction spread, your twisting lines Now write it down Another classic crime and are you wrongfully accused? I’ve got this, you’ve got this
