    Default Bruce Springsteen Announces New Album, World Tour

    Springsteen and the E Street Band will play Europe between May and July; American tour also planned

    Bruce Springsteen's official website has confirmed longstanding rumors that he will tour with the E Street Band in 2012. A short statement says they will tour Europe from the middle of May through late July. There will also be an American tour, as well as a new album. The complete text of the note is below:

    Well, things are starting to heat up down on E Street.

    A lot of you have been hearing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be on tour in 2012. That is absolutely correct. The European dates run from the middle of May until end of July and are being announced this week. Info on the US dates and the World tour dates will coming up shortly.

    In addition, we want you to know that the music is almost done (but still untitled), we have almost settled on the release date (but not quite yet), and that we are all incredibly excited about everything that we're planning for 2012. That's all the info we have for right now, but we'll get back to you--real soon.

    I had a feeling he was going to go on despite the death of his good friend Clarence Clemons.
    If I’m able to offend you so easily, to me that means you already recognize some truth in what I’ve written, but you aren’t ready to face it consciously yet. If you read something from me that provokes an emotional reaction, then a seed has already been planted. In other words, it’s already too late for you.

    Yeah, me too. And he should. Clarence would have wanted that I believe. Also, I have heard that he might be using Clarence's nephew, Jake Clemons, on sax. But that's just a rumor.

    Bruce Springsteen Finishing Up New Album

    Bruce Springsteen Finishing Up New Album
    Sources: LP hitting shelves early next year, U.S. dates begin in spring

    After two years of downtime, Bruce Springsteen is roaring back in 2012: According to multiple sources, he is putting the finishing touches on an album that he will release in the first months of the new year. "He's mastering it right now," says Bob Seger, who spoke with Springsteen backstage at Seger's New York show this month. "He's says it's really unusual and that it's the best thing that he's done in years."

    To support the album, Springsteen and the E Street Band will embark on a world tour that will extend through most of 2012, starting with a two-month U.S. arena leg in early March, sources say – including a stop in Austin for the South by Southwest music festival, where Springsteen will deliver the keynote address. The U.S. dates will be followed by a European tour of festivals and soccer stadiums that kicks off May 13th in Spain.

    The question that hangs over the tour: how Springsteen plans to fill the void left by saxophone player Clarence Clemons, the spiritual heart of the E Street Band, who passed away in June. At Clemons' funeral, Springsteen made it clear that the band would continue: "Clarence doesn't leave the E Street Band when he dies," Springsteen said. "He leaves when we die."

    I'm wondering what "unusual" and "best thing that he's done in years" means.

    I thought 'Magic' was the best thing he'd done in years, personally.

    Maybe its a bossa nova album!

    Tons of rumors swirling around right now. Album/single is supposed to be called 'Rocky Ground'. The album is supposed to be heavy rock n roll and it's been labeled as "angry" whatever that means. I'm trying not to put too much faith into the rumors because they are just that. But I'm expecting we should hear something very shortly.

    I think he's gonna jump in on Henry Rollins "Spoken Word" type tours.

    That would be highly entertaining.

    Then again, he's dabbling in reggae so who really knows what he plans.
    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way!

    From nj.com:

    LINK: NJ.com : Bruce Springsteen to release single from new album tomorrow



    We've got a name, and a single release date.

    Tomorrow, we'll have music.

    "We Take Care of Our Own," the title track from the upcoming Bruce Springsteen album, will be available for digital purchase on Thursday, Jan. 19 through Amazon. This will be the first new music from the Boss since the release of "The Promise" last year, and a good indication of what the new album is going to sound like.

    The Springsteen camp has done an outstanding job of keeping details about the new album under wraps, although pre-release interviews have hinted that the record will be a loud, angry, rocking statement. Springsteen himself was in loud and rocking form at Light of Day last weekend, and seems poised to have a big year.

    What can we learn from what little we do know? Well, for starters, there's no mention of the E Street Band, or other musicians, on the cover. That's not so surprising. But the burning question that surrounds Springsteenville -- how (or if) he'll replace Clarence Clemons -- hasn't been answered yet. The Boss has an electric guitar in his hand, which definitely supports the theory that "We Take Care of Our Own" will be an aggressive rock record. Springsteen's face is a little blurry, and he's looking at the floor, as if he's preparing for a mighty downstroke. The name of the single is scrawled on a black background in white finger paint, which again implies something raw and impulsive. The art looks nothing like the colorful and near-cartoonish graphic that accompanied "Working on a Dream," his last album -- another indication that he's going in a different direction.

    And there's the pugnacious title, too: two-fisted and ready for all comers. We take care of our own, pal, so watch your step when you come around here. Bruce Springsteen has often been at his best when he's fiery and defensive, so we'll take the name of the single as another good sign.

    Oh, and we know the song is 3:54. That's how desperate we are for new Springsteen material -- we're actually counting the seconds. Tune in tomorrow for our initial reactions to "We Take Care of Our Own."

    "Show a little faith, there's magic in the night..." Bruce Springsteen
