Billy Gibbons and Keith Urban join forces on fuzz-friendly new single Brown Paper Bag
Архив новостей | Русская версия
ZZ Top guitarist Billy F Gibbons has released a new solo single. With country star Keith Urban providing what the bearded one describes as some "good-ass" guitar, Brown Paper Bag continues Gibbons' smooth path into elder-statesman grizzle, being fuzzier and slinkier than a song by a man in his mid-70s has any right to be. Listen to it here.
There's no news of an album, but no sign of the great man slowing down, either: Last year he played 140 shows with ZZ Top and with his solo band, who also performed in Ireland over the weekend at the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Donegal.
ZZ Top haven't released an album of new material since 2012's La Futura, but Gibbons remains on familiar terms with the recording studio, having released three solo albums (2015's Perfectamundo, 2018's The Big Bad Blues and 2021's Hardware) in the years since.
Gibbons also stars on 7 Hombres, Una Noche, En Vivo En El Luna Park, Celebrando Sus 35 Años, a live album released by Argentine blues band La Mississippi last year.
In October, Gibbons will be embarking on this year's Rock The Boat cruise, which sets sail on October 25 from Sydney, Australia. The ZZ Top man will be accompanied by his Kings Of Chaos supergroup, which also includes Glenn Hughes, Nuno Bettencourt, Robin Zander, Phil X, Matt Sorum and James Lomenzo. Limited tickets remain.
ZZ Top begin the European leg of their Dos Amigos Tour in Finland later this month and will return to the US for more shows in August.
