BILLY F. GIBBONS – Cruising with Billy F. Gibbons (2025) *HQ*

Famed ZZ Top guitarist / vocalist BILLY F. GIBBONS and his side project band the BFGs are presenting a new album “Cruising with Billy F. Gibbons“. The release include his new single, “Livin’ It Up Down in Texas,” previewed in the hit Paramount+ series ‘Landman’. Gibbons co-wrote the tune with the show’s actors Billy Bob Thornton and Mark Collie.
“Livin’ It Up Down in Texas” is the first recording featuring current BFGs line up with Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame drummer Chris ‘Whipper’ Layton who was inducted with Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. On bass and keyboards is Mike ‘The Drifter’ Flanigan, who plays regularly with Jimmie Vaughan. Gibbons, Layton and Flanigan all were born and raised in Texas with strong roots in the blues.
And yes, “Cruising with Billy F. Gibbons” is a pure rockin’ blues album with a Texan mojo all over it. Alongside the new song here’s also previous Gibbons BFGs songs, all rocking lively, with Gibbons delivering his own unique style of guitar playing of finger slides, plus pinched harmonies with blues phrasing – a cool combination that he has perfected. His gritty deep baritone voice is perfect for the blues and despite Billy’s age, still are strong.

Billy F. Gibbons And The BFGs started their 2025 tour on January 17th in Honolulu, HI, crisscrossing the U.S. hitting all venues in their path and just finished on February 20th in Bristol, Tennessee. But there’s plans for a new tour and album in the making.
