LOS ANGELES – ZZ TOP underscore their bad and nationwide bonafides with two new hits collections packed with many of the biggest songs that have made "that little ol’ band from Texas" among rock's most legendary groups. Over the course of more than 40 years together, their recordings have sold more than 50 million units around the world.
Warner Bros. Records will release THE VERY BADDEST OF ZZ TOP (2-CD, $24.98) and THE BADDEST OF ZZ TOP (1-CD, $18.98) in tandem with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers summer tour, with dates in June across Europe before a run of U.S. dates with guitar legend Jeff Beck, starting in late July. Both collections will be available on July 22. The music will available digitally the same day.
"We're glad that material originally issued by three different labels over the course of all these years will now be housed under one 'roof,' so to speak. It's kind of a big, bad family reunion on some level," notes Billy F Gibbons who, along with Dusty Hill and Frank Beard have maintained ZZ TOP's original line-up since the band's founding at the end of 1969.
