Rick Rubin to Produce Next ZZ Top Album

ZZ Top has recently signed to American Recordings for their next album, which will be produced by Rick Rubin. Rubin's been awfully busy lately producing Metallica's next album, Jakob Dylan's new album and now ZZ Top's next album:

The veteran rock trio is planning to hit the studio with Rubin producing, for an album more in keeping with "La Grange"-era ZZ Top than its pop-friendly '80s sound, according to manager Carl Stubner.

I'd love to see ZZ Top going back to the La Grange days. In other ZZ Top news, they have recently released a new live DVD titled Live From Texas 2007.
