House of a Thousand Guitars: Bruce Springsteen Announces New Album, “Letter To You”

PRE-ORDER FROM AMAZON.COM

Today, Bruce Springsteen announced his latest project, a new album called Letter to You due on October 23.

His 20th album features all the members of the E Street Band and was produced by Springsteen and Ron Aniello. It sees Bruce Springsteen looking forward and back. He revisits a trio of songs that were written across the decades: “Janey Needs a Shooter,” “If I Was the Priest” and “Song for Orphans.”

“I love the emotional nature of Letter to You,” says Springsteen in a statement. “And I love the sound of the E Street Band playing completely live in the studio, in a way we’ve never done before, and with no overdubs. We made the album in only five days, and it turned out to be one of the greatest recording experiences I’ve ever had.”

Letter To You will be available on CD and gatefold 2-LP formats, each accompanied by a 16-page booklet. Bruce Springsteen’s online store will offer an exclusive black with white swirl color vinyl variant, while across the pond Badlands will have an exclusive solid grey pressing paired with an A5-sized postcard.  The grey vinyl release will also be available at independent stores across America.

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day.

Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
