Product Information

RAW, a new album from the original line up of ZZ Top— Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill — created in a singular circumstance is out now. Billy Gibbons stated in an interview in August 2011 that a new album had been recorded, with initial recording taking place in Malibu, California, before moving to Houston, but was still unnamed and had yet to be mixed and mastered. [39] Gibbons said that the expected release date was sometime in March or April 2012 but, later, a late summer or early fall release date was announced. [39] The album was subsequently released on September 11, 2012. [40]

After gaining additional acclaim with the release of their tenth album, Recycler (1990), and its accompanying tour, the group's experimentation continued with mixed success on the albums Antenna (1994), Rhythmeen (1996), XXX (1999), and Mescalero (2003). They most recently released La Futura (2012) and Goin' 50 (2019), a compilation album commemorating the band's 50th anniversary. By the time of Hill's death in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running band with an unchanged lineup in the history of popular music. [1] Per Hill's wishes, he was replaced by their longtime guitar tech, Elwood Francis, on bass.
