ZZ Top is getting the ball rolling in helping their hometown of Houston following the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey.
Starting today (Friday) proceeds from the iTunes sales of the band's song "La Grange" off of Live! Greatest Hits From Around the World will go to the Salvation Army to help area residents rebuild their lives.
Singer and guitarist Billy Gibbons says, "'La Grange' is a very special song and place to us. The narrative chronicles a ‘coming of age’ circumstance for many Texans and was our breakthrough hit back during the early days of the band. We actually got to perform ‘La Grange’ in La Grange, Texas for the first time in their fair city quite recently. ‘La Grange’ emerged as ZZ’s fort top 10 chart buster and holds a special place in the band’s history. We’re hoping 'La Grange’ will once again provide some comfort to those who need it so desperately."
ZZ will perform in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas on Sunday.
