He's not the only one. Probably most "guitarists of a certain age" do too.

Well, not just "Blue Jean Blues"...just about everything on ZZ Top's first three albums sound like they could've been done by Peter Green &/or the 1967-70 era Fleetwood Mac.
Especially:
Brown Sugar
Just Got Back From Baby's
Sure Got Cold When The Rain Fell
Bar-B-Q
Francene
Just Got Paid
Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago
Hot Blue & Righteous
Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers (definitely rooted deeply from "Rattlesnake Shake" & "the Madges")
jeez...even LA GRANGE
