Billy Gibbons, celebrated ZZ Top guitarist, vocalist, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, surprises us with his debut solo album, the extremely unique Perfectamundo. Backed by a handpicked group of musicians, dubbed the BFGs (perhaps a nod to Gibbons' initials, rather than a Roald Dahl reference), the album takes on an Afro-Cuban flavour that will probably come as something of a surprise to some of Gibbons' fans and followers. It shouldn't, though, as Latin rhythms are something deeply rooted in the guitarist's life. Tito Puente, a friend of Billy's bandleader dad, taught him some of the essential conga, bongo, maracas, and timbales rhythms way back in his childhood. As he put it himself, signposting the album's clear debt to Latin rhythms, 'banging away on 'em came back like riding on a lost bicycle'. The album contains a mixture of cover versions of blues classics, notably the Afro-Cubanized take on the Lightnin' Hopkins staple 'Baby Please Don't Go', alongside the inimitable Gibbons guitar strut, which is nowhere more present than on 'Pickin' Up Chicks on Dowling Street'.
