Springsteen Pulls One Out of His Hat


Shore Fire Media and Columbia Records announced today that Bruce Springsteen's 15th studio album, Magic, will be released on October 2nd. This will be the Boss's first album with the E-Street Band since 2002's The Rising. 2005's Devils & Dust featured mostly minimal backing music and last year's We Shall Overcome, featured old folk songs and reworked Bruce classics and a 17 piece band; both were met with mixed feelings from the die hard fans.
Springsteen's long time manager Jon Landau had this to say about the new album; "(Bruce and I) have been together since 1974 and I don't think I've ever seen him more excited than he is right about this record...Clarence (Clemons) has some great moments on it. You could say that it's a little more sonically guitar-driven that any past Bruce album. There are a few sort of pop, romantic touches that haven't showed up recently, but were very prominent on the very early records."

Track listing:
1) Radio Nowhere
2) You'll Be Comin' Down
3) Livin' in the Future
4) Your Own Worst Enemy
5) Gypsy Biker
6) Girls in Their Summer Clothes
7) I'll Work for Your Love
