ZZ TOP - La Futura (Release: Sep. 11, Universal)



After 9 years hiatus the most famous beards in the world are back with an album full of boggie and raw southern rock. The album is produced by Rick Rubin and Billy Gibbons and was recorded at Shangri La studios in Malibu. According to Gibbons the album title is the way he would say "the future" in Tex-Mex... La Futura and it's supposed to be the melding of their classic sound with the new technologies.

Sound and freshness of songs is far from their albums from the 80's and early 90's, don't spect for a new Legs or Stages so if you are a diehard fan of ZZ Top this album will be of your likeness but if you are new to these guys you will need more than just one listen.
Four tracks of this album were released as part of an itunes compilation released a couple of months ago and titled Texicali, these songs are I Gotsta Get Paid, Chartreuse, Consumption and Over You.
Classic sound for the returning of these three guys.
