When Billy Gibbons, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend, needs a blazing guitar solo he doesn’t call a rock star. Billy just shocked the music world by turning to a country icon instead.
The ZZ Top frontman just unleashed his brand new single “Brown Paper Bag” via Concord Records. Instead of a typical crossover duet this move is a masterclass in pure musical respect.
Gibbons completely flipped the script on what fans expected. He bypassed the entire rock industry to recruit Keith Urban as his ultimate secret weapon.
Forget the polished country-pop hits you hear on the radio. This track tracks down Urban the raw guitar slinger. Gibbons openly praised his partner by calling him my good buddy playing some good-ass guitar.
