ZZ Top Drummer Frank Beard 1949–2026

ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has passed away. The Texas native, who anchored the group from behind the kit for 56 years, was in hospice care when he died at his ranch with his family by his side. The group had canceled their August 5 date at the Hollywood Bowl last week due to "unforeseen personal matters.”

Beard was born on June 11,1949 in Frankston, TX and later grew up in Irving, TX. There he connected with bassist and fellow Beatles fan Dusty Hill. The two backed various artists as a rock-solid rhythm section, including Lightnin’ Hopkins.

In late 1969 the drummer reached out to Billy F Gibbons, suggesting that he and Hill would be a perfect complement to the guitarist. As Gibbons later said of the initial jam session at his home, “It was a blues in D, a shuffle and we just didn’t want to stop . . . and we didn’t for the next five or six decades.”

The Let Me Get By (2016) track “I Want More" came next and led into a cover of Frank Zappa’s “Willie the Pimp.” Other highlights included a version of “Bound for Glory” from the group’s debut Revelator (2011), as well as a sequence that moved from a jam featuring sax player Kebbi Williams and drummer Isaac Eady, which moved into Dr. John’s “I Walk on Guilded Splinters,” then Jeff Beck’s “Beck's Bolero.”

The Black Crowes opened with their classic “Remedy,” which they juxtaposed with “It’s Like That” from their new album A Pound of Feathers. The remainder of their set spanned the group’s career including “Jealous Again,” “Lay It All On Me,”  “Thorn In My Pride,” “Soul Singing,” “She Talks To Angels” and “Twice As Hard.”

Global Beat: Shye Ben Tzur, Jonny Greenwood and Rajasthan Express Find “Love of the Divine”

To create 2015’s Junun, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, poet-musician Shye Ben Tzur and the Indian folk-music collective The Rajasthan Express decamped to the inner chambers of a 500-year-old desert fortress in India’s mystical blue city of Jodhpur—about as unorthodox a recording studio as you could imagine.

Nearly a decade later, the group finally reconvened to create the project’s second chapter, Ranjha—and Radiohead’s sonic scientist laid out a plan that shocked Ben Tzur.

“We recorded Junun in the most spectacular, inspiring place. I thought I’d found the perfect recipe—let’s never record any other way,” he says today. “But to Jonny, if something works, it means that now you have to do something completely different.”

A year later, when I started writing Universal United House of Prayer, singing with the McCrarys became the goal."

The California Honeydrops at the Narrows Center for the Arts  

For the better part of the past two decades, the California Honeydrops has been a band building an impenetrable reputation for concerts that double as soul-powered parties. It’s a tall order for an eight-piece ensemble- to generate that kind of energy every night—especially one that tours as much as this crew. Yet, here was the Oakland octet, on a mid-summer Wednesday at the old Massachusetts mill, emptying the powder keg for a sold-out house, cranking out two-and-a-half hours of festive and fantastic fun.

In a collective versed equally as well in seminal blues and classic R&B, the delights hinge on its frontman- singer/guitarist/trumpeter, Lech Wierzynski. With an encyclopedic musical versatility matched only by his radiant and infectious charisma, Wierzynski took immediate note of the seated crowd- standard custom at the Narrows. He confessed his appreciation for such, preferring a more subdued evening. Yet, he and his mates belied the tug of a breezy affair, and by show’s end, had the capacity crowd standing and dancing on every square-inch of hardwood.

Such is a Honeydrops gig, opening this bag with a chorus of slow and funky shoo-be-do-dah-days. Abruptly, the extended band pared down to a quartet, with Wierzynski offering a teasing monologue about Bonnie Raitt and the musical Oklahoma!- as an elongated intro to his tribute to Ray Charles, and Charles’ rendition of “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning”- all of this, just two songs into the set. The three-piece horns, led by the Honeydrops’ veteran saxman, Johnny Bones, then returned for “Last Night on the Back Porch,” first popularized over a century ago in 1924. Again, such is a Honeydrops gig.
