Dusty Hill was born in Dallas, Texas. As a child, he began performing music with his brother, Rocky Hill.On December 16, 1984, Hill accidentally shot himself in the abdomen when his derringer fell from his boot and discharged. He drove himself to a hospital before going into shock. He made a full recovery.
In 1968, he and the drummer Frank Beard joined the guitarist Billy Gibbons in ZZ Top; they went on to release albums including the bestselling Eliminator (1983). Hill favored simple compositions and a "big", distorted sound. Critics described his basslines as a critical part of ZZ Top's sound, complementing Gibbons' guitar showmanship.
Hill married his longtime girlfriend, actress Charleen McCrory, in 2002 and they had one daughter.
Hill was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of ZZ Top in 2004. Hill's on-screen appearances include Back to the Future Part III, Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme, the July 20, 2009 episode of WWE Raw, and Deadwood, and as himself in the eleventh-season episode of King of the Hill, "Hank Gets Dusted", in which Hank Hill is said to be Dusty's cousin.He also made an appearance on The Drew Carey Show as himself, auditioning for a spot in Drew's band, but was rejected because of his attachment to his beard, which he referred to as a "Texas Goatee". Hill died in 2021 after a period of declining health. In line with his wishes, he was succeeded by the band's longtime guitar tech, Elwood Francis.
