Remember Two Years Ago Whiskey Myers Honored a Legendary Texas Rocker?

[ORIGINALLY POSTED AUGUST 2, 2021] Texas lost an icon [two summers ago] when ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill passed away. Fellow Texas rockers Whiskey Myers wasted no time in honoring the rock god in concert.

Dusty Hill died at his home in Houston on July 28th, 2021. This according to a statement from his bandmates, and later confirmed by news outlets. Hill served as bassist for the Texas-based band for five decades.

"We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX," ZZ Top's Frank Beard and Billy Gibbons write in s joint statement on the social media pages. "We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top'. We will forever be connected to that 'Blues Shuffle in C.'"

Following  in the foot steps of ZZ Top, Whiskey Myers are one of Texas' premiere rock bands, so you know the guys were ready to honor their fellow Texans. In fact in their first show after his passing at Sweetwater Pavilion Ft Wayne, IN on July 30th, Cody Tate took over lead vocals for a solid "La Grange" cover.

Big shoutout to YouTuber Mark Drook for sharing this one with the world.
