Bruce Springsteen‘s forthcoming new album will feature a guest appearance from Rage Against The Machine‘s Tom Morello, his manager Jon Landau has revealed.
“It’s a rock record that combines elements of both Bruce’s classic sound and his Seeger Sessions experience, with new textures and styles,” Landau told Rolling Stone of the record.
Later, Landau described how Springsteen and new producer Ron Aniello had worked together with a conscious effort to create an eclectic album. “It was an experimental effort with a new producer,” he continued. “Bruce and Ron used a wide variety of players to create something that both rocks and is very fresh.”
The album, Bruce Springsteen’s 17th studio effort, will be his first since the sad death of influential E Street member Clarence Clemons last year.
The Boss is also due to undertake a series of UK outdoor gigs later this year. As well as two of his own headline shows at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 21st and Manchester’s Etihad Stadium a day later, he will also make appearances at the Isle Of Wight and Hard Rock Calling festivals.
