ZZ Top's new deal
ZZ Top has signed a new record deal with Rick Rubin's American Recordings imprint through Columbia. The veteran rock trio is planning to hit the studio, with Mr. 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. Mr. Rubin helped revitalize the careers of Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond. Billboard.com
