ZZ gets back on the road tonight, appearing at the Chicago Theater in Chicago, Illinois. Hopes are high for a set list change - mostly a couple more additions from "La Futura" would be good - since that is the name of the tour and all.
Also "Driving While Blind" - but I'm dreaming now....
I will post a set list as soon as I can.
-----
"La Futura" debuted on the charts in the U.S. at number six - highest ever. They also moved 30K copies in the first week, the most albums they have sold since during the first few weeks of "Antenna". Great to see this.

It has been discussed and agreed that if ZZ does put out another album, it likely will not be produced by Rubin. It has also been discussed that the "Texicali" songs seemed more polished and 'finished' than the remaining six (or eight) tracks. Perhaps Rubin's seemingly OCD production approach got to be too much for Billy, and the band decided it would be released in September come hell or high water. Who knows....

Amazon shows the vinyl release date to be October 9th.
Best Buy shows the vinyl release date to be October 16th.
Which one is right? Does Best Buy have another exclusive version in the works? If you have any info please comment accordingly.

Thanks go out to the readers. I greatly enjoyed reading everyone's comments on the recent posts and rest assured I read every one, even if I do not get a chance to comment back. Please continue to participate in discussion if the mood strikes you!

If we see another ZZ Top release of new music, will it be called "ZZ Top's Last Album"??

Anybody know what Bill Ham is up to? Bill, if you ever read this page, know that the fans will always respect and appreciate your countless contributions and leadership towards that "Little Ol' Band from Texas".
