ZZ Top Lap The Globe For Live Greatest Hits

ZZ Top had to fly around the planet to compile their latest album.

“We spend the biggest stretch of every year out on the road, whippin’ wire, poundin’ skin, and rockin’ it way up,” says Billy F Gibbons. “This is the true document of life de la ZZ. In an abstract surrealism style, this collection is a definitive chronicle of the band hangin’ together for four plus deluxe decades, getting down to do what we get to do. Enjoy and listen to loudness!”

‘Live – Greatest Hits From Around The World’, is the first official live album from ZZ Top although they have had live DVDs before.

The album includes their recent London collaboration in London with Jeff Beck on the Tennessee Ernie Ford / Merle Travis standard “Sixteen Tons,” the first time that the song has been included on any ZZ Top album release.

LIVE – Greatest Hits From Around The World, will be released on September 9th on Suretone Records.
