Billy Gibbons Talks ‘Coolest’ Hendrix Song
By Blogger - Thursday, September 30, 2010

Before his was one-third of ZZ Top, Gibbons was in a band called Moving Sidewalks, which played on the same bills as Hendrix and The Doors. When opening for the latter, Gibbons met his future bandmates, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill.
“I met them through Jimmy Vaughan, Stevie Ray’s older brother,” Gibbons said. “Jimmy and I were talking one afternoon. It’s still this way today – there’s something with musicians from Texas; there’s a bond. There’s this kind of unspoken, shared admiration for what everybody does. It’s really cool. Jimmy introduced me to Frank, the drummer, and then Frank introduced me to Dusty, and we just kind of hit it off.”
The trio debuted in 1969 and have been together ever since. As Gibson.com recently reported, ZZ Top are working on a new album with producer Rick Rubin.
