ZZ Top have a new album coming out on Tuesday, and it’s getting raves.
Guitarist Billy Gibbons in the New York Times:
“It’s a real uphill challenge to battle the white-guyness,” Mr. Gibbons said of himself. “White people get nervous and speed things up.” But, he suggested, “you don’t have to be in a hurry because you ain’t got nothing to gain and you ain’t got nothin’ to lose. And that’s where the groove lies. Consider that as a mental concept for a second!”
Listen to the first track from the album here. It’s a cover of a 1999 hip-hop song.

Pretty lame comment, considering Gibbons slays just about any black guitar player post-Hendrix you could name.

“White people get nervous and speed things up.”
That was my objection to ZZ Top in 1979: they weren’t playing fast enough! Dinosaur rock I called their music in a review for the Rice U. paper.
But, they were right and I was wrong.
I’ve never seen anybody explore why a bunch of intelligent young white guys felt such a need for speed starting in the late 70s.
I never met Billy Gibbons, but ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard was a friend of Prof. William Martin, my dorm’s headmaster at Rice U., so he came by the dorm for dinner a couple of times in the late 1970s.

More research needs to be done.
