Not much news is getting out from the ongoing recordings in Atlanta. This week an Atlanta newspaper reported that all rumors of Bruce recording in the city were false.

Brendan O'Brien has produced Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots, which suggests a more hard rocking sound than what we've been used to. The sessions take place in the Southern Tracks Studios in....

Did Bruce Springsteen finish an album with the E Street Band a few weeks before the holidays? That's what we hear from one source whose reliability we cannot vouch for. Of course, it sounds interesting, but with the complete lack of rumors in this regard, we must put it in the "unlikely" category. Perhaps more reliable is the word from the same source of an attempt to get Bruce to do an acoustic show at the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of fame in Cleveland this year. The Hall of Fame has allegedly tried.... Read more
