There have been a number of artists recently who have made the decision to sell off their catalog, The Police, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks and more … and now ZZ Top are joining that list of artists who are collecting a massive payday for their songs.

Billy Gibbons recently said the time was right to sell and get the most for what they’ve produced.

He sold the entire ZZ Top Catalog to BMG and the investment company KKR for approximately $50 million.
