The guitarist is to guest star in Pushking’s new album ‘Duets’, along with Deep Purple members Ian Gillan, Glen Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, and many more.

Russian metal-rock band Pushking are featuring high-profile collaborations in their upcoming album named ‘Pushking – Duets’, produced by Fabrizio Grossi. The release will pack 19 songs that the band has been playing since 1996, perhaps as a brief timeline of their constant evolution.

Amongst collaborators, ZZ Top founder and Houston native Billy Gibbons stands out. Born in 1949, Gibbons began playing guitar as a teenage boy. Also founding member of the 60’s band Moving Sidewalks that once opened for the Jimi Hendrix Experience – he is known for his 1959 Gibson Les Paul (a.k.a. Miss Pearly Gates), his industrious guitar riffs and infamous coin string-picking technique.
Gibbons formed ZZ Top in 1969 along with Frank Beard and Dusty Hill, and released 14 albums with commended popularity. He has played with various music icons, including B.B. King, John Mayall and Les Paul.
On Pushking’s new album, Gibbons will be performing in the song ‘Knight Rider’, and will be collaborating both on lead guitar and vocals.

Pushking’s forthcoming release will be also guest starring Deep Purple veterans Joe Lynn Turner (also from Rainbow), Glen Hughes (also from Black Sabbath) and Ian Gillan (also solo) to aid in their heavy metal/bluesy approach.

Other artists also include American rock singer and songwriter, Alice Cooper, American hard rock guitarist Paul Stanley (KISS) and English rock singer Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, Alcatraz).

The new albums release date has not yet been confirmed, but it is scheduled to be out on sale before the end of this year.
