ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons is back at it with a new single called “Brown Paper Bag.” He dropped the news himself like a guy who just wandered into the room with a riff and a grin, casually mentioning it also features Keith Urban… casually shredding. No big deal.
The track’s got that crunchy, greasy, can’t-help-but-nod-along kind of vibe, but here’s the thing—no word yet if this means a full album is coming. His last one was Hardware in 2021, and since then he’s just been sprinkling out singles like a guy who doesn’t feel the need to explain himself.
Meanwhile, ZZ Top hasn’t put out a new album since 2012, but Billy clearly didn’t get the “slow down” memo. The man is 76 and somehow still touring like he’s got rent due. Last year alone? 140 shows. The year before that? Basically the same story.
At this point, Billy Gibbons isn’t chasing time… time’s trying to keep up with him.
