Bruce's "Devil" of a New Disc
Bruce Springsteen is ready to dust off some old material for a new record.
The Boss' 19th album, Devils & Dust, will be released Apr. 26, Columbia Records announced Wednesday. Several of the 12 tunes on the disc have origins stretching back a decade, when Springsteen was performing a solo acoustic tour in support of The Ghost of Tom Joad.
"I was so excited after playing on that tour, I'd get off the stage and go write," the New Jersey-born songwriter tells the Associated Press.
"Then I put those songs on the shelf for a while, until I had a chance to revisit them."
And revisit the Boss has; Devils & Dust will be the rocker's first album of new material since his Grammy-winning 2002 release, The Rising. Brendan O'Brien, who produced The Rising, returned for Devils & Dust.
While most of the acoustic studio set will be unfamiliar to fans, at least three tracks are known quantities to Springsteen completists.
"The Hitter" and "Long Time Comin' " were performed on The Ghost of Tom Joad tour, while Springsteen played the title cut during sound checks at last summer's Vote for Change tour.
Springsteen, 55, says Devils & Dust will be reminiscent of his acclaimed Nebraska and Tom Joad albums, telling the AP the sparse, country-influenced set is "about people working through their confusions, sometimes well and sometimes tragically."
This time out, Springsteen is leaving the full E Street Band behind. Like the bulk of his 1990s catalog, Springsteen recorded the new disc largely with session musicians in New York and Los Angeles, although a few E Streeters make cameos.
"I was actually signed as an acoustic act, and I've always enjoyed playing acoustic," Springsteen tells the wire service. "Even when I was in a band, back in my early days, I was always writing songs that weren't meant for the band."
The Rising sold more than 2 million copies domestically and earned three Grammys. The subsequent tour grossed more than $220 million from 121 North American shows.
Columbia says a new tour is in the works and details will be announced shortly.
News of the new album and tour come just three days after Springsteen collected his 12th career Grammy Sunday, winning for Best Solo Rock Vocal for "Code of Silence," a track off the 2003 compilation The Essential Bruce Springsteen.
