ZZ Top / Goin’ 50
Anniversary package from the mostly bearded trio arrives in June.
Texas trio ZZ Top celebrate a half century of blues rockin’ and hard livin’ with a new compilation called Goin’ 50.
As you might expect with a title like that, the collection features 50 tracks from Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill’s career and their 15 albums, with additional extras to entice fans such as two bonus tracks, ‘Salt Lick’ and ‘Miller’s Farm’ – a single and B-side respectively – that were recorded in 1969 by the original incarnation of ZZ Top.
Covering everything from ‘La Grange’, ‘Cheap Sunglasses’ and ‘Tush’, via their 1980s Eliminator peak of ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ and ‘Gimme All Your Lovin’’ and finishing up with tracks from their most recent studio album, 2012’s La Futura Goin’ 50 also offers a pair of live tracks, ‘Waitin’ For The Bus’ and ‘Jesus Just Left Chicago’ from their 2016 Live Greatest Hits set.
The band are also hitting the road in honour of their anniversary, and will be touring the US throughout the summer, with illustrious support from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cheap Trick and Bad Company all taking turns. No European dates as yet, but keep ‘em peeled.
Goin’ 50 comes in triple CD and 5 LP versions featuring all 50 tracks and is released 16 August 2019. An 18-track single disc round-up, for the casual listener, will also be issued on 14 June (distinguishable by its yellow cover art variation).
