BILLY F. GIBBONS [https://www.billygibbons.com/]- Along with the late
Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons is unquestionably
one of the finest blues-rock guitarists to ever emerge from Texas.
Born on either March 4 or December 16, 1950 (both dates have been
given in the past), and raised in Houston, Texas, Gibbons grew up in a
home that favored both classical and country sounds, but upon
discovering Elvis Presley via an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show,
Gibbons became transfixed by rock & roll. It wasn’t long before he
discovered other early rock & rollers (Little Richard) as well as
bluesmen (Jimmy Reed) via a local radio station. Soon after receiving
a Gibson Melody Maker electric guitar and a Fender Champ amp for
Christmas in 1963, Gibbons began emulating his heroes — forming his
first band when he was 14 (the Saints). The guitarist later joined a
group around the mid-’60s called the Coachmen, who specialized in
more psychedelic-based sounds, inspired by the likes of Jefferson
Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and the local Texas outfit 13th Floor
Elevators (led by a young Roky Erickson). Gibbons’ band eventually
changed their name to the Moving Sidewalks, issuing a lone album in
1968, Flash, although an early single, “99th Floor,” would later
receive attention when included years later on the Pebbles: Vol. 2
compilation. While the Moving Sidewalks never made a splash outside of
Texas, Gibbons must have been pleased when Jimi Hendrix (with whom the
Sidewalks toured with around this time) began endorsing the guitarist
as one of his favorite new players to the media.
