ZZ Top 'La Futura' will be released in September
After completing a successful summer US tour alongside special guests 3 Doors Down and Gretchen Wilson, ZZ Top are almost ready to unlease their latest new studio release on the world.
These details were just recently shared on their official Facebook page, along with the album's artwork.
The first new studio album from ZZ Top in nine years is LA FUTURA, set for release September 11 in the US by American Recordings.
The album harks back to the hallmark raw sound of the band's formative years and will, inevitably, be considered a return to form on multiple levels.
LA FUTURA, produced by Rick Rubin and Billy F Gibbons, the band’s guitarist/singer, finds the legendary group infusing the newly recorded work with the electric blues/roots approach that typified ZZ Top's earliest work while, at the same time, reaching for new sonic horizons.
At its fundament, this is the incarnation of the band whose influence resonates today with such artists as The Black Keys, Jack White, Queens of the Stone Age and many others.

Black Sabbath You Tube footage from Lollapalooza
The reunited Black Sabbath, sans of course original drummer Bill Ward, for various reasons ..., just completed their third and final live date of the year, with the lineup of Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, alongside Ozzy drummer Tommy Clufetos.
Due to Tony Iommi's health condition - Of which there's been no official update on for some time, raising concerns on his general well being ... - the band once they had reformed and begun work on writing and recording a new Sabbath album, had originally planned on a full world tour, but since Iommi's treatments continued, this was reduced to just two official live dates and one warm up show.
The shows at Birmingham Odeon (Warm up) and the UK major rock festival event, Download, happened back in June and last Friday night Sabbath played at the annual Lollapalooza festival, here in the States.
