Архив новостей | Русская версия
ZZ TOP guitarist Billy Gibbons says he’s planning on releasing a new solo album later this year.
He and his backing band the BFGs, featuring Martin Guigui, Mike Flanigan, Alex Garza and Greg Morrow, launched "Perfectamundo" in 2015 – and Gibbons says the follow-up is on its way.
He tells ABC News Radio: “Following the success of 'Perfectamundo', which was our stab at taking a piece from the Cuban influences, they've said, 'OK, we've done this Cuban thing, can you go back to your bluesier roots?'"
“We've decided to do just that. So, hopefully summertime we'll see something BFG and blue coming out.”
Gibbons reunited with his psychedelic pre-ZZ TOP outfit THE MOVING SIDEWALKS in 2013 for live shows in New York, Austin and Houston – and he says that studio work with the band will “hopefully that'll see the light of day. Probably this year.”
ZZ TOP, meanwhile, will head out on the Blues And Bayous tour with John Fogerty from next month across the US and will wrap up their Las Vegas residency this weekend at the Venetian Theatre.
