Springsteen, Others Announce Releases


Bruce Springsteen announced this week that he will release Wrecking Ball on March 16.

Featuring 11 new songs, his 17th studio album looks to hit on today’s social and political themes. It is produced by Ron Aniello with Springsteen and executive producer Jon Landau.

Wrecking Ball is one of the most anticipated albums coming out this year, but there are several other first-quarter releases worth noting:


Craig Finn from The Hold Steady releases his solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes, on Jan. 24.

Kathleen Edwards releases her fourth album, Voyageur, on Jan. 24. It has been a while since we’ve heard from Edwards, but she’s back in a big way with the new album and upcoming tour. Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) co-produced the album.

Leonard Cohen delivers Old Ideas on Jan. 31. It received four-and-a-half stars from Rolling Stone.

Imperial Teen, a favorite with its boy-girl vocals, comes out with Feel The Sound on Jan. 31.

Sleigh Bells’ Reign of Terror hits the streets Feb. 21.

The Decemberists will release We All Raise Our Voices To The Air (Live Songs 04.11-08.11) on March 13.

The Shins finally return with Port Of Morrow on March 20.
