It's Finger Pickin' Good March 31, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I just saw Billy and the boys at the Bell County Expo Center in Texas last week, and they rocked the house like they were 20 year-olds. When I flew back home to California, I had this book that I'd ordered a week earlier on my doorstep. It has lots of great photos and is an easy read.
Billy starts out writin' like a good ol' boy but includes some of them ten dolla' words eventually. He reminds me of my cousins, who always try to fool the city slickers into thinkin' they's just some country hicks but end up with most o' the chips.
Billy's living an interesting life, and he knows how to tell about it quickly, without bogging it down. In short, it reads kind of like a ZZ Top song.

DAt's what BFG say. The man is a GENIUS. This book is a fascinating read, and shines a whole new light on that little old band from Texas. I've always loved ZZ Top, but now I have a whole new respect for Billy Gibbons- the guy just oozes soul, is so understated yet so creative. This book shows how detail oriented, how creative, and how cool the man is. A great artist, a gearhead, and most importantly a genius on the gee-tar. Gotta love his life story. Buy it!
ZZ Top Fan Must Read! March 2, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you are a ZZ Top fan, this book is a must read for you--it shows some of the private side of "The Reverend Billy G" and some of his passions on guitar and car collecting--although not really diving into the bands personna as much as I would have liked, seeing this side of one of Rocks "Major" influences was a very nice read---plus it is a nice bargain at Amazon--I was very pleased to get this book--I first saw this book at a guitar show in Orlando and when I was upset at myself for not buying it at the show I went to the Amazon site and purchased it for 15 bucks cheaper! Shazaaam! I had a friend of mine once tell me that before I buy any book to always check Amazon first--I guess she wasn't wrong--anyway--a really nice book that will draw much attention if left on a coffee table when guests are over--
