Billy F Gibbons: Rock + Roll Gearhead

By Billy F. Gibbons, Tom Vickers, Tom Vickers

Book Overview

In this paperback edition of the original 2005 release, Billy F Gibbons throws wide his garage and studio doors for an exclusive look at his exquisite vintage and way-out custom guitars and his influential hot rods and custom cars. From the mythical '59 Les Paul sunburst known as Pearly Gates and the "Furry One" of MTV renown to cars like the Eliminator, CadZZilla, and Kopperhed, they're all here--more than four dozen guitars and ten astounding vehicles, all expounded upon by BFG himself and shown in specially commissioned color photography. And while BFG's cars n' guitars are the stuff of legend, no less intriguing are the tales behind his incredible music career. From teenage Houston garage rock to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the whole story is between these covers, told in the Good Reverend Willie G's own words and illustrated with photos and memorabilia from his personal archive.
