Recycler by ZZ Top
About the album Recycler
ZZ Top's Recycler, released on October 16, 1990, marks the conclusion of the "synth-rock" trilogy that began with Eliminator. Under the production of their longtime collaborator Bill Ham, the album was recorded at Memphis Sound Productions.
The musical style of Recycler balances between the glossy electronic sound of the '80s and a turn towards the raw blues roots of Texas. The cover, a creation by Barry Jackson, depicts a futuristic trash compactor "recycling" a classic car, symbolizing the renewal of their sound.
The commercial success was significant, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and achieving platinum sales. The singles Doubleback, Concrete And Steel, and My Head's In Mississippi stood out, dominating the rock charts. A special moment for the album was the band's appearance in the movie "Back to the Future Part III," where they performed an "old west" version of Doubleback. The eponymous Recycler Tour, with support from Bryan Adams at certain stops, confirmed their dominance in the arenas of the era.
