2018 solo release from the legendary ZZ Top member. Big Bad Blues, as the title suggests, focuses on Gibbons' lifelong love of the blues and rock 'n' roll, showcasing the blues-influenced vocals and guitar licks that have together served as the foundation for his numerous hits over the past five decades. The album features 11 tracks balancing some classic covers like 'Rollin' and Tumblin,' and 'Standing Around Crying' along with some of Billy's signature new blues originals. Gibbons is best known as the guitarist and lead vocalist of ZZ Top. He began his career in the Moving Sidewalks, who recorded Flash (1968) and opened four dates for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Gibbons formed ZZ Top in late 1969 and released ZZ Top's First Album in 1971. He was ranked at #32 on the 2011 Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

Rockin' album
Upbeat and rockin' album. A few ballot type songs but overall a quick pace. This Billy Gibbons record has more ZZ Top overtones. The songs are on the short side and I would have liked to hear more extended solos. I guess I'm comparing it to the live ZZ Top recording in Texas which had some extended solos on the blues tunes and were a bit more soulful. Perhaps because it was live.

Billy hat's einfach drauf
Ich habe Missin' Yo' Kissin' gehört und musste mir die Scheibe sofort kaufen.Geile Südstaaten Bluesmucke.Man möchte wahlweise das Motorrad satteln und um die Kurven kacheln - dabei Vorsicht beim vorletzen Song Rollin’ And Tumblin’ - oder zuhause mit 'nem Whisky in der Hand im Sessel sitzen und bei voll aufgedrehten Boxen der Frau beim Schreien zusehen.Irgendwann rennt die eh raus - auch gut.

Billy Plays On
What a brilliant album, if you like blues, boogie and Z Z Top you will love this album. This is one of Billy's solo albums. I was so impressed I ordered another of his solo albums which should arrive in a day or two. I didn't notice but the album came in a transparent light blue vinyl so that came as a nice surprise. One of the best vinyl albums I have bought for a long time.
