ZZ TOP 8211 La Futura (Repress) 8211 2LP 8211 Vinyl

2LP – Black Vinyl. This album is produced byRick Rubin & Billy F Gibbons. Following years of eager anticipation from fans worldwide, the legendary ZZ Top bringforth their thundering blues rock album, La Futura. This album promises to attractattention for various reasons. The first single Gotsa Get Paid kicks off the albumwith that fairly familiar fuzzed-up raw guitar tone that is so belonging to the band. Thetrack is a rendition of a rap song originally by DJ DMD and rappers Lil Keke and FatPete. There is certainly the element of rap within the lyrics, but after a little ZZ fusion,what we have is a rip-roaring blues rock record. Other singles worthy of mentioninclude Chartreuse and Consumption. Both tracks make use of fundamentalblues rhythms, topped off with that recognisable raspy vocal line. One track thatparticularly stands out on the album is Over You. It changes the tempo and delvesdown a path rarely walked by the band. With less distortion and a more melodic tune, itcertainly ticks the box for giving breadth to the album. The lyrics alone are of a gloomierquality that displays a somewhat deeper and darker character, but by no means doesthe song sound vulnerable, instead rather resilient.
