Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill of ZZ Top attend the premiere Of"ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band From Texas" at The Cinerama Dome on Aug. 13, 2019 in Los Angeles.A rock doc that, like many of its subjects' fans, loses interest in its story shortly after they become huge stars, Sam Dunn's marvels at the endurance of a three-piece now known mostly for their beards.

Hill gets the story started, recalling his youth in a rough Dallas neighborhood, his early bands and the way his brother abruptly recruited Beard to drum for them.
