Bruce Springsteen takes the stage again

Although this year he is not expected to tour, Springsteen jumped on a stage again for the second time this year. It was at Rosanne Cash’s concert in Durham, North Carolina. Springsteen recently contributed to Rosanne’s latest album The List, singing a duet with her on the song «Sea of Heartbreak». Halfway thru her show at Duke University on April 15th she told the crowd: «Usually, I’d say that John Leventhal will be playing the part of Bruce Springsteen; tonight, Bruce Springsteen will be played by Bruce Springsteen». And so both artists sung «Sea of Heartbreak» to a stunned crowd. (See a picture of the show at Backstreets.com)

But this ain’t it: Bruce will be back on a stage very soon. He has been confirmed to join Wes Stace (formerly known as John Wesley Harding) in a special performance with poet Robert Pinsky at Wamfest (Words and Music Festival). They’ll play at a special event called «Words and Music, Perhaps II: A Discussion and Performance». The concert is free, but only available to Duke students.

Springsteen records with the Kinks’ Ray Davies

The leader of the Kinks, Ray Davies, has recorded a new album. It consists of collaborations with other artists, recording classic Kinks tracks. Back in November, Davies contacted with Springsteen and Bon Jovi at the Hall of Fame show in New York City. Both agreed to record with Davis, and the collaboration came to fruition in early January at a NYC studio.

Springsteen has dueted with Ray Davies on a new version of «Better Things», a song originally released in 1981 on the album Give The People What They Want.
