Rock News Story Of The Year No. 8: ZZ TOP


In late November, the ZZ Top documentary, “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas”, earned the band a nomination for a 2021 Grammy Award.

The career overview will compete in the Best Music Film category alongside projects on the Beastie Boys (“Beastie Boys Story), Beyonce (“Black Is King), Freestyle Love Supreme (“We Are Freestyle Love Supreme”) and Linda Ronstadt (“Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice”).

Produced by Banger Films, the documentary tells the story of how three teenage bluesmen - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard – became one of the biggest bands on the planet, all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers 50 years after the band’s inception.
