Yes, reliable sources say that a new studio album and tour are coming this fall. It looks like a short fall tour either in US or Europe and then a marathon tour in 2008. |

Bruce Brings The Rock For New Album
The fact that Bruce Springsteen has been recording a new album at Southern Tracks Studios with members of The E Street Band is one of the worst kept secrets in rock. The man has been sighted all over town and, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, recently stopped by local record shop and a bookstore to pick up some music related items — including a CD by the Dropkick Murphys, a Jimi Hendrix DVD and a Joe Strummer biography. The article says he was buying them for his kids, but we think that after The Seeger Sessions and Devils and Dust he’s trying to brush up on his rock & roll for his new album. There’s nothing resembling an official word at this point, but all signs point to the album coming out around September with a worldwide E Street Band tour to follow. With Max Weinberg heading to 11:30 with Conan O’Brian in 2009 and Clarence Clemons five years away from the big seven-oh this could very well be the final tour with the full band.

Bruce Springsteen to Release New E Street Band Album in Fall

Bruce Springsteen to Release New E Street Band Album in Fall
The general disarray at Sony Music's Columbia Records may have a savior: Bruce Springsteen.
The Boss, as we still call him, is apparently planning a new album for release in late fall. Some sources insist that this will be an E Street Band album, and not another side project like the "Seeger Sessions" or a solo collection of introspective songs.
An E Street Band album means a big rock 'n' roll sound with Springsteen's featured players like Steve van Zandt, Max Weinberg and Clarence Clemons.
Sources tell me that tracks have been recorded with the group, and that the hope among Bruce insiders is that he will choose their project over several others he may have cooking.
"You never know," one observer said, "but it's looking better and better."

There was more to the Freidman article:
Sony insiders definitely confirmed in the last few days that Springsteen is scheduled to release new music before the end of the year. He would have to be, since last year, former Sony Music CEO Andy Lack helped the rock legend land a contract worth $100 million over several years.
Another and very important player would be Springsteen's wife: rocker Patti Scialfa. The timing would be perfect since Scialfa — one of my favorite female rockers — already has an album set for release in early September.
"Play It As It Lays" is Scialfa's first new set of songs since "23rd Street Lullaby," which was released three years ago. Patti is already booked on "Letterman" and the "Today" show as well as "The View," where she may have to co-host if Barbara Walters doesn't find replacements for her departed panelists.
For Bruce, a new album would be the first E Street Band release since "The Rising," his magnificent recording about 9/11. That album sold better than any previous Springsteen albums and picked up a number of Grammy nominations. Springsteen lost the award for best album to Norah Jones' debut, if you recall.
If you never tried it, pick up "The Rising" or download some of its amazing tracks like "Empty Sky" or "You're Missing."
The latter song, which had a serious message, could also be the theme song at Sony these days. Quite a few people are missing — and they're not coming back. I'm told that layoffs are continuing, with several departments in publicity and marketing gutted.
When I mentioned this to a Sony higher-up the other day, the person replied: "You are the last one writing about the record business. Don't you realize it's over?"
Maybe, but if so, what do I do with my 1,200 45s and thousands of CDs? Not everything fits in a computer. And when the Springsteen album comes out, I don't want to listen to it on earbuds, but through my Rogue tube amplifier and Sequerra Met 7 speakers. Loud, baby, loud.
