ZZ Top’s Billy F Gibbons is out with new music.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has just dropped the new tune “Livin’ It Up Down In Texas,” which got an early preview on the Paramount+ drama Landman, created by Tyler Sheridan, who also created Yellowstone.
The song was actually co-written by Gibbons and two of the series’ stars, Billy Bob Thornton, who plays Tommy Norris, and Mark Collie, who plays Sheriff Walt Joeberg. The series is set in the world of the oil fields of West Texas.
“It seemed really natural to team up with Billy Bob and Mark to write a song for Landman,” Gibbons shares. “‘Livin’ It Up Down In Texas’ isn’t, per se, autobiographical, but does encapsulate the oil-stained Lone Star lifestyle as seen each week in the series.”
“Livin’ It Up Down In Texas” is expected to appear on Gibbons’ next album, his first solo record since 2021’s Hardware. The tune is available now via digital outlets.
Gibbons and his band the BFGs are set to kick off a new tour with a three-night stand in Honolulu starting Friday. A complete list of dates can be found at billygibbons.com.
