Southern rock releases, week 38

· 8 releases

This week in southern rock, archival releases and legacy projects take center stage, with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers unveiling a box set chronicling their formative years from 1971 to 1978. New developments include MNRK Music Group acquiring Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society catalog and Kings Of Leon performing an intimate Nashville show to mark the start of their new era. Meanwhile, the debut album by the newly formed HOT SHÖT, featuring former members of Dangerous Toys, Machine Head, and Dirty Looks, is now complete. The genre’s ongoing influence is also reflected in Chris Stapleton’s reimagined NFL anthem and Alabama Shakes’ unexpected return with their third record, I Must Be Dreaming.
