With his signature beard and distinctive attire, Billy F Gibbons is instantly recognisable. He’s best known as the centerpiece and one third of ZZ Top, the band that came together in 1969 and has stayed as a key part of the American musical landscape ever since-– the longest running major rock band still composed of its original members.

In 2015, Billy released his debut solo album, the Afro-Cuban flavoured Perfectamundo, and now comes its follow-up, The Big Bad Blues. Co-produced by the great man and Joe Hardy, it is just as the title suggests - a return to Gibbons’ blues beginnings.

The Big Bad Blues contains BFG-ified renditions of songs associated with some of his heroes - Standing Around Crying and Rollin’ & Tumblin’ by Muddy Waters, and Crackin’ Up and Bring It to Jerome from the Bo Diddley canon; these are joined by nine originals, including one written by Gilligan Gibbons, a/k/a Mrs. Billy Gibbons.

This LP format is pressed on translucent blue vinyl.
