- Superb
This is a fascinating part of music history, not only for the fake Zombies part of it, but also the era where it all took place and musicians who were involved. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone so I’ll just say I’m hooked and looking forward to hear the rest of the story.

What a great untold story of rock history. I’ve binged the first 3 episodes and I’m anxiously looking forward to the rest. I’m from Texas and very familiar with ZZ Top but was not aware of this part of their origin story. more
Apple Podcasts5PCBunnygirlUnited Statesa month ago - Written to make something out of little
This podcast clearly wants to drag a simpler story into more episodes and hence more ad revenue without adding relevant facts and education or anything that makes the story better. Honestly go read the rolling stone article. And relevant ZZ Top facts. This pod is not good.
Apple Podcasts2ripcurl6United States2 months ago - Enthralling
This is an absolute gem. Fake versions of the British Invasion group The Zombies touring the US, members of ZZ Top, ? And The Mysterions and a dead man singing. And all beautifully assembled
