Working on a Dream will be the 16th studio album by Bruce Springsteen, due to be released on January 27, 2009 (see 2009 in music).[1]
History
The album was officially announced, along with a track listing on November 17, 2008.[2]
The album came out of songwriting that Springsteen continued with at the close of his previous work, 2007's Magic, and encouraged by his 2000s producer Brendan O'Brien.[2] It was recorded with the E Street Band during breaks on their 2007–2008 Magic Tour and is due for release on January 27, 2009.[2] A new tour is expected to follow.
The bonus song "The Wrestler" first appeared in August 2008 at the 65th Venice International Film Festival debut of the film The Wrestler. Title number "Working on a Dream" was first performed during Springsteen's November 2, 2008 appearance in Cleveland for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign (accompanied by Patti Scialfa), and then a chopped-up airing of the recorded version first appeared during the November 16 NBC Sunday Night Football broadcast at halftime. The intact "Working on a Dream" began airing on radio stations and their websites on November 21,[3] and was made available for free download via iTunes and the Sony BMG website on November 24.
A second bonus number was originally listed for the album. "A Night with the Jersey Devil" first appeared in October 2008 on Springsteen's website, accompanied by a Halloween-themed music video.[1] But subsequent press releases omitted mention of it, and Springsteen sources confirmed it had been removed, for reasons unknown.[4]
