Billy F Gibbons, Hardware, 2021 on Concord Records

Billy Gibbons is best known as one third of ZZ Top, but has released a lot of music under other side brands as well. This LP, his third “solo” recording, came out in 2021 and is Gibbons working with Mike Fiorentino, Matt Sorum, and Chad Shlosser.

I also saw Gibbons at the Cabot Theater in Beverly a few years before this LP when he was touring with Matt Sorum and Austin Hanks. The LP, like the show, is pretty much what you expect from the elder statesmen of Texas blues rock imbued with sexual innuendo.

My copy, on “cherry red” vinyl, via Newbury Comics in Boston.

BOSTON ROCK

An Essential New England Music Publication

https://ia801707.us.archive.org/8/items/circulation_zero_boston_rock/circulation_zero_boston_rock.pdf

Boston Rock was a terrific publication which operated out of Newbury Comics. Someone has loaded the first several years of Boston Rock, as a PDF, at Archive.org. Depending on your Internet speed, this isn't necessarily the easiest thing in the world to download; and it can be a little hard to use; but, gee, is it ever worth it! If you are researching or just reading about New England music, this publication is essential.

I downloaded this PDF in 2022 or earlier and haven't checked back since. It seems at least possible more issues may have been posted in the meantime.
