註釋
Expanded on the occasion of ZZ Top’s 50th anniversary year,
Billy F Gibbons: Rock + Roll Gearhead
(first published in 2005) throws wide Gibbons’ garage and studio doors for an exclusive look at the exquisite vintage and way-out custom guitars and the influential hot rods and custom cars of the Grade-A Texas gearhead.
From the near-mythical ’59 Les Paul sunburst known as “Pearly Gates” and the “Furry One” of MTV renown to cars like the Eliminator, CadZZilla, and Kopperhed, they’re all here—
more than four dozen guitars
and
a dozen astounding vehicles
, all expounded upon by BFG himself and shown in
commissioned color photography
. Cars and guitars that have made their way to light since first publication are included:
Cars:
Mexican Blackbird 1958 Thunderbird
Custom Scions
Quintana ’50 Ford Custom
El Camino custom
Whiskey Runner Ford Coupe
’51 Jeep Wagon
Guitars:
Party Peelers John Bolin Customs
1929 National Resonator
1929 Dixie Ukelele
1939 Rickenbacker Frying Pan
…and more!
While BFG’s cars ’n’ guitars are the stuff of legend, no less intriguing are
the tales behind his incredible music career
. From teenage Houston garage rocker to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the whole story is between these covers, told in the Good Reverend Willie G’s own words and illustrated with photos and memorabilia from his personal archive.
As with many rockers, Billy F Gibbons' jones for hot rods and customs is the stuff of legend. But beyond this bona fide bluesman's mastery of the six-string and unrepentant love for internal combustion is a noted collector whose own designs have manifested themselves in hundreds of mind-bending cars and guitars. This is
the definitive and official record
of that genius.
