ZZ TOP: Texicali Tuesday |
 |
|
ZZ Top is apparently tired of waiting for producer Rick Rubin to finish their next album so they're releasing four of the songs today via iTunes. Titled Texicali, these are the first new ZZ studio recordings in nine years. The title of the four-song EP is a reference to the locations where the album was recorded and an acknowledgement that the band's line-up has remained constant for 42 years. The four songs are "I Gotsta Get Paid," "Chartreuse," "Over You" and "Consumption." Singer-guitarist Billy Gibbons says, "We were itching to get some new music out before the full album release; making available these four tracks seems like a good way to accomplish that most expeditiously. [Bassist] Dusty [Hill], [drummer] Frank [Beard] and I are happy with what's been accomplished in the studio so we figured we'd provide some hot and tasty 'hors d'oeuvres' before the main course is served this fall." The album, which is still untitled, will be out in late summer or fall. ZZ's Gang of Outlaws tour with 3 Doors Down and Gretchen Wilson is in Glen Allen, Virginia tonight. |
