Billy Gibbons talks new ZZ Top album

The album is due for release in 2011 and Gibbons has told Mojo Magazine:

"It sounds and feels like Tres Hombres, with a few elements of the Eliminator period thrown in. A pretty wide range, from basic blues to slightly more fancy stuff."

The forthcoming record by 'that lil 'ol band from Texas' has been executively-produced by Rick Rubin who has worked with everyone from Johnny Cash to the Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine to Adele is co-founder of both Def Jam Records & American Recordings.

Gibbons says of working with Rubin, "The thing about Rick is he pushes the artists to spend more time reaching down deeper than they normally would."

ZZ Top have yet to reveal the album’s title and its final track listing.
