Bruce Springsteen fans are having a wild year. At Madison Square Garden the Boss announced that for this weekend’s group of gigs, the E Street Band will be playing, for the first time, The River (November and The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle (November 7) in their entirety. The mind boggles. The River, which was released in October of 1980, has 20 songs, and clocks in at nearly an hour and a half.
Head over to Stereogum to hear a new, possibly old Ryan Adams song, the bizarre country ballad “Jimmy Whistlenut” which features the chorus: “You’re in a time machine, and you’re trippin on robotussin and crack/ so here’s to Jimmy Whistelnut, break dancin’, and jumping jacks.”
“Heaven Can Wait,” a duet between Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck, can be heard here. The track is from Gainsbourg’s upcoming IRM album (due out in January), which Beck produced and co-wrote.
The Stooges will reunite with guitarist James Williamson for the first time in almost three decades when they launch a tour in 2010. Williamson is stepping in for the late guitarist Ron Asheton, who passed away in January due to a heart attack. The Stooges are among the bands nominated for this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
