February 2020 New Music Releases
The following list of February 2020 new music releases has a dark theme – actually, a black one.
Ex-Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne's first new solo album in a decade features Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. Longtime Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde's tribute band Zakk Sabbath has also recreated Black Sabbath's self-titled debut 50 years after the original was laid down.
Elsewhere, Huey Lewis and the News are set to release their first set of new songs since 2001's Plan B. Soulsville, a collection of R&B covers. A new 10-LP/five-CD box set traces the Allman Brothers Band's journey from a first-ever jam session featuring Muddy Waters' "Trouble No More" to a performance of the same song that closed out their 2014 farewell show.
ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band From Texas, a documentary screened in theaters last summer, arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and digital video. Cream's four-disc, 36-track Goodbye Tour Live 1968 also features 19 songs that have never been previously released in full.
