March 2019 New Music Releases
March 2019's list of new music releases includes deep dives into a few cornerstone moments, long-awaited new albums and some intriguing live sets.
Tom Petty's second compilation in as many years arrives with a twist: The non-chronological 38-song set encompasses his work with the Heartbreakers, solo projects and with the reformed Mudcrutch.
Jon Anderson's long-gestating new project 1,000 Hands features guest turns by former Yes bandmates Steve Howe, Alan White and the late Chris Squire. Keith Richards' 1988 solo debut will be released in an expanded deluxe-edition box that includes six never-before-heard tracks.
Tesla's eighth studio album, titled Shock, was produced and co-written by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. Queensryche are releasing The Verdict via online outlets and at local record stores, despite the collapse of their crowdfunding effort through PledgeMusic.
Foreigner return to a seminal concert performed in support of their debut album on Live at the Rainbow '78. Whitesnake celebrate their first-ever platinum-selling album with a seven-disc expanded reissue of Slide It In. Journey's Live in Japan 2017: 'Escape' + 'Frontiers' was recorded on the legendary Budokan stage.
