Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-11 00:00:00 Jessica Nelson I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley to read and review. BILLY F GIBBONS: ROCK + ROLL GEARHEAD by Billy and Tom Vickers (photographs by David Perry) is a beautiful presentation of the musical life of the legendary Texas guitarist from Z.Z. Top who has always remained true to his roots, and while his image is definitely a product of that, interviews with those that have known him throughout his career are quick to point out that his image only scratches the surface of who Billy really is, and his intelligence and attention to detail along with his insight are responsible for the quality of the guitar work, songwriting, and recording of the band's albums. Billy (or the Reverend Billy G. as he's called by some) has put together this book that is presented in scrapbook form starting with his early career up to the present - and all points in between. Fans of Billy and Z.Z. Top will find a treasure trove of information with photos on the history of the guitarist and the band over the years going back to the beginning, along with photos and captions by Billy himself, and the last part of the book shares beautiful photos of all the cars and guitars he's famous for along with details on how they came to be and his personal involvement in their creation. I can't say enough good things about this book, and anyone who appreciates Billy and "that little ole' band from Texas" along with all of the beautiful cars & guitars they are known for should snatch this up, and it would make a fine coffee table book for anyone's collection. 5 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-30 00:00:00 Anton Demin I received a advance PDF file copy of the newly expanded version of Billy F. Gibbons autobiography for my honest review. Thanks to net galley.com, Motorbooks and Billy F. Gibbons for the opportunity to read it. I like it, just found it hard to read everything due to a formatting issue with the bluefire reader app and just ended up skimming through it. Not going to get negative over the issue I had reading it, with just flipping through it, just want to either purchase it in hardcover or get it as a ebook, when it's available on amazon.com. Have always been a fan of ZZ Top, Billy's one of my favorite guitarists's and became fan more due to their older music verse some of the newer releases. Definitely if your a fan of the band you'll like this, even a collectable fan car or guitarist enthusiast will like this.
