Here is a link to a new interview with Billy. Talks at length about the new album, but hints at possible new delays....
I don't think the album needs to be perfect, the more raw the better. I hope this thing is not being over produced.

It’s interesting to hear BFG now say the new album will be coming “by Spring of the year 2012”. The 2012 Rodeo runs from 28 February until 18 March, so if ZZ does play the Rodeo, the new album might not be released in time. If the do play the Rodeo, maybe they’ll play new songs before the release of the new album. Just as a point of reference, Mescalero was released on 09 Sep 2003. When they played Rodeo Houston 2003 on 04 March 2003, ZZ debuted the songs “Buck Nekkid” and “Piece”. We'll see what happens.
