Bruce Springsteen has announced his new album with the legendary E Street Band.
The reunion on the forthcoming album 'Magic' is their first effort together since 2002's 9/11-themed 'The Rising'. In the last five years, Springsteen released his third folk album 'Devils & Dust', a two-hour double album of lost tapes from his infamous first UK tour dubbed 'Hammersmith Odeon London '75' and his rambunctious interpretations of Pete Seeger classics on 'We Shall Overcome'.'Magic' will feature eleven new tracks of what manager Jon Landau told Billboard would be "high energy rock". Apparently only track ten, 'Long Walk Home', has previously been played live. The album is slated for release through Columbia on October 1.
He will also bring the band out on the road across the US after the release. Billboard mused that a Springsteen and E Street Band tour would "provide a big boost to the industry's fourth quarter bottom line" as his 2003 tour garnered over $180 million dollar and sold out stadiums throughout the US and Europe.
Before the release of 'Magic', Springsteen promises more material from the Seeger sessions, as well as an appearance on his wife Patti Scialfa's new album 'Play It As It Lays'.
