ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons has released “Livin’ It Up Down in Texas,” a new track previewed in an episode of the hit Paramount+ series Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan.
Gibbons wrote the single along with Landman stars Billy Bob Thornton (Tommy Norris) and Mark Collie (Sherriff Walt Joeberg).“ “Livin’ It Up Down In Texas was produced by Gibbons at Level14 Studios in Nashville.
Gibbons shared of the song: “A hard-hitting, hard rock bombast of sonic Texas soulfulness! It seemed really natural to team up with Billy Bob and Mark to write a song for Landman. ‘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.”
The release of the track also coincides with a solo tour by Gibbons and his band The BFG, including Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chris “Whipper” Layton and Austin music stalwart Mike “The Drifter” Flanigin. A complete list of dates can be found at billygibbons.com.
