ZZ Top Putting Finishing Touches To New Album

The band say that they are "picking through the good stuff"

Published 30th Mar 2012

Speaking to Billboard.com Billy Gibbons revealed that they are "down to seeds and stems” and that they are "picking through the good stuff.”

Fans shouldn't expect a drastic change in sound, this time around. "Rubin told us, ‘It’s just pretty much straight-ahead. I don’t see any major changes. If we stumble into something drastic, fine. If it works, we’ll know it.’”

While there's still no release date for the new record, Gibbons did reveal that one of the band's brand new songs, '25 Lighters', will appear on a new commercial for Jeremiah Weed whiskey.
