The Very Baddest of ZZ Top

Description

The two-disc VERY BADDEST version doubles down on the band’s music with 40 tracks that form a more detailed snapshot of the trio’s stellar career. In addition to including every song heard on the single disc collection, VERY BADDEST digs deeper into early albums to uncover killer tracks like “Pearl Necklace,” “Just Got Paid” and “(Someone Else Been) Shaking Your Tree.” The collection also spotlights later albums likeXXX(1999) andMescalero(2003) with “Fearless Boogie” and “Que Lastima.” Appropriately, the collection closes with ZZ TOP’s unique take on the immortal “As Time Goes By,” a song made famous by the 1942 movieCasablancaa and a tacit commentary on the group’s unparalleled longevity.

ZZ TOP kicks off a full slate of European dates in June with a gig at Bergenfest in Norway on June 11. After wrapping up in Europe, the trio will head home to join forces with Jeff Beck for a U.S. tour this summer. For their first tour together, fans will be treated to full sets by Beck and ZZ TOP. At the end of the show, the artists will take the stage together for a set that promises plenty of six-string fireworks.
