Tres Hombres is the third studio album by the American rock band ZZ Top, released on July 26, 1973 by London Records. It was the band`s first collaboration with engineer Terry Manning. The album would be ZZ Top`s commercial breakthrough in the United States charts. It peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in 1974. Its lead single `La Grange` reached number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is the first of many ZZ Top albums to incorporate the use of Spanish terminology in their branding. `Tres Hombres` means `three men` in Spanish.

The track `Waitin` for the Bus` segues into `Jesus Just Left Chicago` almost seamlessly. Houston Chronicle entertainment writer Andrew Dansby wrote in 2013 that this fusing of the songs was not the original plan. Dansby claimed that the album`s engineer was splicing tape and cut too much, leaving no gap between the songs.[6] The album`s engineer Terry Manning, who performed the edit, counter-claimed in a 2017 blog post that it was no accident. Manning admitted that although it was not planned beforehand, as an engineer he was `... always looking very carefully at the timings between songs ... counting time, feeling how different time sigs (signatures) go together, different keys, different feels ...` Manning wrote that he, `... tried several things to see how those two (songs) would go together` when it dawned on him that they could `... come together as one song, exactly as if played that way.` Manning wrote that when he initially presented the edit, Billy Gibbons loved it but the album`s producer Bill Ham was confused and wary of it, `... but after several plays, it was obvious (to) everyone that there was no other way they could ever exist again.`
