Tres Hombres is the third album by American blues-rock band ZZ Top, released in 1973. It proved to be the group's commercial breakthrough attracting a larger fanbase. The album hit the top ten while the single "La Grange" hit 41 on the singles chart.
The name means "Three Men" in Spanish, referring to the three members of the band.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 498 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
During the height of ZZ Tops' success in the early 1980s an inferior "digitally remixed" version of the recording replaced the original 1973 analog mix. The remix version was used on all early CD copies and was the only version available for over 20 years. A remastered and expanded edition of the album was released on February 28, 2006, which contains three bonus live tracks. The 2006 edition is the first CD version to use the original 1973 mix.
