Springsteen's Working On A Dream Due January 27

I don't have to tell anybody who reads this space regularly that I kinda like this Bruce Springsteen guy. I do, okay?

Guilty as charged.

So here's the deal. Bruce has got a new album coming out.

The release of Springsteen’s 24th album, to be titled Working On A Dream continues the prolific – and unusual -- period of activity for the notoriously methodical artist that began on 2002’s album, The Rising.

Once known for taking years between album releases, Springsteen has averaged a new album almost every year ever since reuniting with the E Street Band for The Rising -- the first time he had recorded with them on an album since 1984’s blockbuster Born In The USA.

The title track for Working On A Dream, an uptempo pop tune reminiscent of songs like “Hungry Heart” and “Girls In Their Summer Clothes,” was previewed on NBC’s NFL Sunday telecast in a ninety second clip.

Working On A Dream features twelve new songs penned by Springsteen, as well as two bonus tracks, “A Night With The Jersey Devil” (which was released as a free download on Halloween) and the title track from the Mickey Rourke film The Wrestler.

So the first taste from this new album kicks some pretty major ass in my own, admittedly biased opinion. I particularly like the bells at the end of the song.
