"'What's Up With That'" is a 1996 ZZ Top song and single from the album 'Rhythmeen'.[Marjorie Galen, Gordon Matthews Legends of Rock 1403737193 - 2007 "Always tasteful, always cool in a cartoon kind of way, ZZ Top has cruised slow and steady up the charts, time and time ..."Gimme All Your Lovin", "Legs", "Sharp Dressed Man", "Sleeping Bag", "Doubleback", "Pincushion", "What's Up with That", "36-22-36"..

The single was a deliberate return to ZZ Top's blues roots, dropping the synthesizers and back to guitar.[ The harmonica was played by James Harman.][The International Who's Who in Popular Music 2002 2002- Page 219 James Harman.. ... television, radio, festivals world-wide; Songs for films; Several songs used in TV shows; Plays in every major blues festival world-wide; Played harmonica on ZZ Top single. What's Up With That; Appeared on David Letterman Show, 1997."] The single features two unreleased live recordings that were captured "live and sly" during one of the many ZZ Top late nights. The first live song is a cover song by 1930s blues musician Robert Johnson, that song was only played live during the 1996 Continental Safari Tour. The second song is originally from their 1975 album 'Fandango!'.
