Billy Gibbons recently hinted that ZZ Top has been working on new music. Some of these songs might even include parts recorded with the late Dusty Hill, which makes them extra special. While there’s no official release date yet, fans are excited to hear what’s coming.

With Frank Beard back on drums, a full tour schedule, and whispers of new music, ZZ Top is proving they’re still a force in rock. Whether they’re rocking the stage or laying down tracks in the studio, they’re keeping their legacy strong. Be sure to catch one of their upcoming shows if you can!!!!
