New year, new music from heavy hitters

What's in store for music
this year? We take a look ahead at 2009's most anticipated releases from
established artists.
Bruce Springsteen: The Boss debuted an
acoustic version of the title track to "Working on a Dream" during an Obama rally last
November. Since then, several fully formed songs from the album have been
officially released, including "The Wrestler," which just won the Golden Globe for Best
Original Song. Thematically, "Working on a Dream" picks up where 2007's "Magic" left off, somber and introspective but hopeful.
Meanwhile, Springsteen's new greatest hits package will be sold exclusively by
those union busters at Wal-Mart, a move given added irony during his concluding
performance at the Jan. 18 "We Are One" concert from the Lincoln Memorial,
teaming with Pete Seeger (once blacklisted for his socialist sympathies)
on "This Land Is Your Land." (Image: Scott Weiner/Retna) |
