About Playlist
Many mysteries and legends have surrounded the origin of ZZ Top's name. What is behind it? A tribute to B.B. King? An inspiration coming from Corona's typography? A simple typo? We'll probably never know, and the members of ZZ Top take a clever pleasure in covering their tracks. Let's take a look back at the prolific career of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, who are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their debut album, simply titled "ZZ Top's First Album" this year.
