Of the new album, Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau says: “Bruce has dug down as deep as he can to come up with this vision of modern life. The lyrics tell a story you can't hear anywhere else and the music is his most innovative in recent years. The writing is some of the best of his career and both veteran fans and those who are new to Bruce will find much to love on ‘Wrecking Ball.’”
Rolling Stone offered more details on the album — it was produced by Ron Aniello, features members of the E Street Band, and a guest appearance by Tom Morello.
The announcement makes no mention of the E Street Band, but the single features the backing of a band, indicating “Wrecking Ball” is not a solo acoustic Springsteen effort.
"Bruce has dug down as deep as he can to come up with this vision of modern life,” said his manager, Jon Landau, who also is executive producer of the album, in a statement posted on Springsteen's website. “The lyrics tell a story you can't hear anywhere else and the music is his most innovative in recent years. The writing is some of the best of his career and both veteran fans and those who are new to Bruce will find much to love on 'Wrecking Ball.'"
It will be Springsteen’s first recording, and tour, since the death last year of saxophonist Clarence “Big Man” Clemons, who died from complications from a massive stroke.
Springsteen’s tour with the E Street Band opens May 13 in Seville, Spain, and the first leg to be announced includes 31 shows in 26 European cities. More dates including the U.S. are still to be detailed.
