So if Barack Obama didn't win, Bruce Springsteen would not have put out a new album?  What!?  That is just crazy talk!  There really isn't too much news on what the album will be, but hey, if Obama needs a soundtrack for his first day in office, The Boss is your guy!  He plans possibly taking tracks left over from his last release, Magic and throwing them onto this yet to be named album.  Also, the duet he sang with his wife at an Obama rally will likely be featured on the album.

Anyway, more news and information on Springsteen's upcoming untitled release, so check back here in the near future to find out more!

This past Thursday was a very sad day in the music industry.  Danny Federici, the organ/piano player for the E Street Band (which was fronted by Bruce Springsteen) passed away from melanoma.  For all of you out there who listen to Springsteen's albums, or are someone who listened to Springsteen and the E Street Band, Federici was a main component of the group.  He was a big part of the productions the group made, and was, "the jell that kept the group together."  Our condolences go out to Federici's family, the E Street Band, and Bruce Springsteen.

On October 2nd, 2007, Bruce Springsteen's 15 album was released, entitled, "Magic." His previous releases were decent, I personally liked the "We Shall Overcome: Seeger Sessions" album, which was released in 2006. In 2005, Bruce released his 13th album entitled "Devil's and Dust." I thought that the release in 2005 was terrible and I was extremely disappointed about the album.

"Magic" has actually exceeded my expectations, and I really enjoy listening to it. Listening to it is like listening to the old Springsteen albums. "Magic" has that "Born To Run" sound to it and really is a great listen. The E Street Band teamed up with Springsteen to make, in my opinion, one of his better albums! I highly suggest giving his new album a listen and if you like it, go out and buy it.
