Boss at work: new projects ahead

Word on the street suggests Bruce is working hard on his new album with the E Street Band. Springsteen has been seen in Atlanta, where he's readying a new album with his long time comrades. No official word though, but Bruce was approached at the Four Seasons Hotel by local DJ Jimmy Baron (in the picture), who chatted with the artist and directly asked him how the recording was doing. Bruce answered: "sounding good".

And what about the rumoured CD/DVD from Dublin'06? Some internet rumours (check the Live Daily Springsteen forum) have showed up this week indicating a double CD/single DVD could be released in early June.

Meanwhile, E Street saxman Clarence Clemons has received a well deserved tribute in his native Norfolk, Virginia. Clarence will be added to the city's Legends of Music Walk of Fame on the Grandby Street sidewalk, where he will join previous inductees Ella Fitzgerald and Bruce Hornsby.

Jesse Malin gets a little help from his friends

The great Jesse Malin (formerly fronting punk combo D-Generation) has a new album out. His third solo effort is titled Glitter in the Gutter, and he gets some great help from his friends Bruce Springsteen, Jakob Dylan and Jesse Malin.

The Boss shares vocals on the magnificent song "Broken Radio". "He drove up on his motorcycle and banged it out. The guy just sang his heart out" Jesse told in an interview to the Asbury Park Press.

Watch here the first video-clip off the album:
"Don't Let Them Take You Down"
