Music headlines in April are always dominated by Record Store Day, and 2019 is no different. This year's edition is jam-packed with special releases from the likes of Queen, Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Elton John, Pearl Jam, John Lennon, Roxy Music and more.

Keep your wallet out, however, because several other notable non-RSD releases dot this list of April 2019 new music releases. Ex-Eagles guitarist Don Felder's American Rock ’n’ Roll promises a block-party of famous guest stars, including Slash, Sammy Hagar, Bob Weir, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith. Alan Parsons is also releasing his first studio album in 15 years.

Elsewhere, new compilations promise to put legendary careers in perspective. The Rolling Stones' Honk focuses on their career since 1971's Sticky Fingers; the three-CD edition also includes a bonus disc with 10 recent live cuts. A new David Bowie box features two early versions of “Space Oddity” to mark his debut hit's 50th anniversary. And Stevie Nicks is releasing the second of two separate Stand Back collections focusing on her solo work.

More information on these and other rock releases can be found below. Remember to follow our continuously updated list of New Music Releases for details on music issued throughout the year.
