ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons Readies Solo Debut
« on: August 04, 2015, 04:00:06 PM »


Top for nearly 45 years, Billy Gibbons will release his solo debut, Perfectamundo, on October 23. The album was recorded in Spain, Los Angeles and Gibbons’ native Texas and as its title suggests, will have more of a Latin feel than his work with ZZ Top. Gibbons co-produced the disc with Joe Hardy.

In addition to the title track, Perfectamundo includes originals like “Pickin’ Up Chicks on Dowling Street” and “Quiero Mas Dinero” plus covers of “Baby Please Don’t Go” by Lightnin’ Hopkins and “Treat Her Right” by Roy Head.

Here’s the Perfectamundo track list:

“Got Love If You Want It”
“Treat Her Right”
“You’re What’s Happenin’, Baby”
“Sal y Pimiento”
“Pickin’ Up Chicks On Dowling Street”
“Hombre Sin Nombre”
“Quiero Mas Dinero”
“Baby Please Don’t Go”
“Piedras Negras”
“Perfectamundo”
“Q-Vo”

Billy is kinda hard to see.  It's probably because of the success of ZZ top, but I think it hurts the "Best Blues Guitarist" thing.  BB & SRV were all over the place, all the time.  Maybe this solo offering will get him out more.
