ZZ Top – Goin’ 50

ZZ TOP TO RELEASE CAREER SPANNING GOIN’ 50 SET

ZZ Top will be celebrating their 50th anniversary with a world tour this year, including extensive legs in Europe and the United States.

14 June – Grolloo, NL @ Holland International Blues Festival
25 June – Brussels, BE @ Forest National

The band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas, and following a few initial lineup tweaks, the classic trio of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard have all been going strong in the band for 50 years. Along the way, ZZ Top have released such classic hits as “La Grange”, “Gimme All Your Lovin’”, and “Legs”, among others, and they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

With the upcoming 50th Anniversary tour ready to help ZZ Top celebrate their years in Rock, it only makes sense to help them celebrate with a career-spanning collection that effectively covers all the appropriate ground.

On June 14, the 3CD editions of Goin’ 50 will round up 50 tracks, some of them live. Two bonus tracks (“Salt Lick”, “Miller’s Farm”) have been included that are immediate delights due to the fact they were originally recorded in 1969 as an A/B side single. Most songs are pulled from all fifteen ZZ Top studio issues ranging from 1969’s ZZ Top’s First Album through 2012’s La Futura. Most tracks are remastered. There’s something for every level of ZZ Top fan.

Goin’ 50 will be released on CD, 3CD, 5LP vinyl set (June 16), and digital streamings.
