THE SONG:
Sharp Dressed Man is a song by American rock band ZZ Top, released on their 1983 album Eliminator. Sharp Dressed Man was one of the first ZZ Top songs to use synthesizers. Mixed with guitarist Billy Gibbons’ distinctive sound, it gave them a new direction without alienating their old fans. After the second chorus, Billy Gibbons solos on guitar for over a minute before the third verse appears. He filled this section with lots of twists and turns to keep it interesting and layered two guitars to create a compound track. For one of those guitar lines, he played a Fender Esquire with a slide; the other he played on his 1959 Les Paul ("Pearly Gates") in standard tuning. The guitar solo in the song was chosen by Guitar World as number 43 in their 2009 list of the 50 Greatest Guitar Solos. According to Billy Gibbons, the concept for Sharp Dressed Man came from a movie (possibly the 1981 film “The Amateur”) where there is a character referred to as “Sharp-Eyed Man”.
