Billy Gibbons is planning his future by looking to his past. He has announced plans to record a new album with Moving Sidewalks, the band he was in pre-ZZ Top. Gibbons says that a series of reunion shows with Moving Sidewalks in 2013 inspired the group to get back in the studio. “Once we lit the fuse then it became a game of lighting a fire, which brought us back into the studio . . . And there is a bona fide studio revisitation of some ZZ Top-inspired Moving Sidewalks numbers,” he said, adding that the band’s chemistry makes this more than a reunion for nostalgia’s sake. “Talk about players – those guys are fierce. They are not afraid of getting down with it.” Moving Sidewalks formed in Houston in 1966 and released one full-length album, 1969’s Flash. Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
