Springsteen Spiffs Up ‘Dust’ for Spring
NEW YORK (Billboard) – Bruce Springsteen’s new album, “Devils & Dust,” will be released in DualDisc format on April 26.
In addition to the standard audio tracks on one side, the DVD side will sport acoustic renditions of the title track, “Long Time Comin’,” “Reno,” All I’m Thinkin’ About” and “Matamoras Banks,” filmed last month in New Jersey.
In addition, Springsteen has added his extensive introductions to the tracks. The DVD also boasts a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the album.
“Devils & Dust” will be available as a deluxe edition, with exclusive photographs and what the label describes as “unique, song-specific elements” for each of the 12 tracks. This version also will be issued as a DualDisc.
The new album follows the format of Springsteen’s ’90s studio work, in which he eschewed the presence of the full E Street Band and was instead surrounded by a rotating cast of collaborators. The core band features only Springsteen on guitar, producer Brendan O’Brien on bass and Steve Jordan (Steely Dan, Keith Richards) on drums.
An acoustic tour is in the works, but no dates have yet been announced.
