It's one of the most storied cities in American music, and next month, Memphis will open a hall of fame dedicated to some of the many artists who have helped define its sound -- with an inaugural class that includes Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and ZZ Top.
It takes less that 45 seconds for a long-legged beauty to appear in the new music video for the ZZ Top single 'I Gotsa Get Paid.' The just-released clip reflects the song's rawness. It's not weighted down with impressive lights or complex set designs. The cracks in the desert floor drive the story like Billy Gibbons' guitar powers the blues song.
According to legend, some people will risk going into labor in order to see ZZ Top in person. But if you want to catch the Texas blues-rock greats without even leaving the comfort of your own home, you can do that tonight (Oct. 6). Their slot at the Virgin Mobile Freefest will be streamed online. We have the video embedded below.
Man, I love me some ZZ Top. From back in the day when they basically had 1 song getting national airplay, to the blues-infused depth of the tracks that never make it to the radio, this band is a Rock & Roll institution. They're out on the road right now, and we've got a look at a recent show in Ohio.
ZZ Top put on a fine little show in Akron, Ohio last night (Oct. 3). Call it human nature or American greed, but there's still a few complaints we'd like to register with the proper Texas authorities.
I go way back with ZZ Top, ever since their first album hit stores in 1970, I knew this was a band I wanted to hear more of.
I guess they really started to get national notice after the release of 'Tres Hombres' in 1973. That's when I was lucky enough to see them in concert, and man, what a great concert. I was fortunate enough to see them a couple more times since then, and they never fail to deliver.
The question has remained for a long time...when would we get some new music?
After what seems like decades of enticing progress reports from the recording studio, ZZ Top's first new album in eight years, 'La Futura,' has arrived.
The flood of "return to glory" talk may run counter to the proper enjoyment of this record, which after all that time and effort somewhat surprisingly reveals itself as more of a low-key and charming affair.
ZZ Top's long-awaited comeback record, 'La Futura' normally comes with 10 songs, but if you buy Best Buy's exclusive edition you get 20% more Top thanks to two bonus tracks.
ZZ Top fans, here comes some new music! It seems like it's been forever since the band put out anything new, and finally the new album La Futura is due in stores today. The 4-song ep Texicali has been out for a while, but the full album is officially in stores today. How about a little taste? Check out some below.

ZZ Top aren’t exactly the “turn around a new album every year” kind of band anymore, but even by their standards, their latest stint between records was rather long. Part of the reason for that is the perfectionist streak that went into the ‘La Futura’ disc, courtesy of noted producer Rick Rubin.
Rock legends ZZ Top will be honored with the Living Legends award at Classic Rock magazine’s Roll of Honour awards ceremony. The event will take place at London’s Roundhouse Theater on Nov. 13.
When looking at the lineage of ZZ Top, perhaps it’s no big surprise to learn exactly how big of an influence Jeff Beck’s music was on the group, particularly guitarist Billy Gibbons.
