ZZ Top
The official Facebook page for That Little ‘ol Band from Texas.
ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. For 51 consecutive years, it was composed of vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard, and bassist-vocalist Dusty Hill, until Hill’s death in 2021. ZZ Top had developed a signature sound based on Gibbons’ blues guitar playing style and Hill and Beard’s rhythm section. They are popular for their live performances, sly and humorous lyrics, and the matching appearances of Gibbons and Hill, who wore sunglasses, hats and long beards.
Hill’s death and upcoming sixteenth studio album (2021–present)
In July 2021, Hill was forced to leave a tour after a hip injury. ZZ Top performed without him at the Village Commons in New Lenox, Illinois, with Hill’s guitar tech Elwood Francis on bass. Five days later, on July 28, ZZ Top announced that Hill had died at his home in Houston at the age of 72. His wife later reported that he had suffered from chronic bursitis. Per Hill’s wishes, ZZ Top continued with Francis on bass. Hill had already recorded bass and vocals for ZZ Top’s upcoming album.
On July 22, 2022, ZZ Top released Raw, the soundtrack for the band’s 2019 documentary That Little Ol’ Band from Texas, via Shelter Records/BMG. It was one of their final live albums with Hill.
On December 12, ZZ Top announced a co-headlining tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd for summer 2023, titled The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour. The tour is scheduled to commence July 21, 2023 in West Palm Beach and conclude September 17, 2023 in Camden.
