BILLY GIBBONS: Cardboard Boogie

By Jim Cartwright Aug 1, 2023 | 10:38 AM

Billy Gibbons was recently introduced to the Stratocaster guitar made almost entirely out of cardboard.

Accompanied by drummer Matt Sorum, who played on his last two albums — 2018’s The Big Bad Blues and 2021’s Hardware – they went to Goodnoise Studio in Palm Springs, California where they recorded a song with the six-string titled “Cuttin’ Up Paper.”

The moment was captured for the Cardboard Sessions series, which you can watch on YouTube.

Gibbons and ZZ Top are on tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd with the next show this Saturday in Fort Yates, North Dakota.
