Tonight’s mystery artists have a hit song that was recorded and mixed down by one member without ever including the others in the band. Can you guess the song or the band??

We’ll start with the song, ZZ Top’s "Got Me Under Pressure" from their 1983 album Eliminator. In his book Sharp Dressed Men, David Blayney (ZZ Top's stage manager of 15 years), described how the song was pre-produced: Billy Gibbons and Linden Hudson (Houston engineer and songwriter) wrote the whole song and created a recorded demo all in one afternoon without either Dusty Hill (ZZ Top bass player) or Frank Beard (ZZ Top drummer) even knowing about it. Linden created the bass on a synthesizer, created drums on a drum machine and helped Billy Gibbons write the lyrics; Billy performed the guitars and vocals. Go Billy.

Guess he always had the chops but it wasn’t until this year that he planned his first solo gigs…unless you count ‘Got Me Under Pressure’
