===1993–1995: First reunion, ''Hey Zeus!'' and ''Unclogged''===
X regrouped in the early 1990s to record their seventh studio album, ''[[Hey Zeus!]]'', released in 1993 on the [[Big Life]] label. The album marked somewhat of a retreat from the increasingly roots rock direction that the band's past few records had gone in, instead featuring an eclectic [[alternative rock]] sound that fit in well with the then-current musical climate. Despite this, it failed to become a hit, although two of its songs, "Country at War" and "New Life," peaked at numbers 15 and 26 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts, respectively.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

In 1994, they contributed a cover of the [[Richard Thompson (musician)|Richard Thompson]] song "Shoot Out the Lights" to a Thompson tribute album called ''Beat the Retreat'', which featured [[David Hidalgo]] of [[Los Lobos]] on electric guitar. On the same album, Doe sang harmony and played bass and Bonebrake played drums on [[Bob Mould]]'s cover of "Turning of the Tide," and Bonebrake played drums on the title track, which was performed by the British folk artist [[June Tabor]].{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

The band released an acoustic live album, ''[[Unclogged]]'', in 1995 on Infidelity Records.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}
