Tres Hombres (Spanish for `three men`) 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 was ZZ Top`s commercial breakthrough in the United States, peaking at number 8 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1974. Lead single `La Grange` reached number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the first of many of the band`s albums to incorporate the use of Spanish terminology in its branding.

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, as an engineer he was `always looking very carefully at the timings between songs ... counting time, feeling how different time sigs 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, while the album`s producer Bill Ham was confused and wary of it. `[A]fter several plays,` he wrote, `it was obvious (to) everyone that there was no other way they could ever exist again.`[7]
