This documentary delves into the mystique behind the blues-rock trio, ZZ Top, and explores how the enigmatic band created their iconic look and sound. Blending candid band interviews, never-before-seen archive, animation, celebrity fan testimonials, and an intimate performance at the legendary Gruene Hall, the documentary celebrates the notoriously private, but larger than life, power trio.

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.
Director Sam Dunn weaves wonderful mythology that leaves you happy for the band’s longevity and ready for more from the sharp-dressed men.
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.
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.
The ultimate romantic comedy.
