Proving he’s still “The Boss,” Bruce Springsteen has released his second new single from his latest record, Working on a Dream, jointly through MySpace Music and Amazon. The song, titled “My Lucky Day,” was available for download exclusively through the two services for one week starting Dec. 1 and the sites also hosted a live in-the-studio video for the song (http://Amazon.com) also boasted an extra two minutes of behind-the-scenes clips.) The title track for Springsteen’s upcoming release, which will be issued Jan. 27 via Columbia, is already an iTunes exclusive. Springsteen and his E Street Band will take the stage Feb 1 as part of the Super Bowl XLIII halftime show in Tampa, Fla.

The aptly-titled Working on a Dream will feature 12 new tracks as well as bonus tracks like “The Wrestler” (from the Mickey Rourke-starring film of the same name) and “A Night With the Jersey Devil” (which Springsteen gave away as a free download on Halloween.) The album is the follow-up to 2007′s Magic, which was produced by Brendan O’Brien on basic tracks, and during breaks from Springsteen’s constant touring the E Street Band was brought in to the studio. The seasoned musician told Billboard, “All the songs were written quickly-we usually used one of our first takes.” The full track listing for Working on a Dream is: “Outlaw Pete,” “My Lucky Day,” “Working on a Dream,” “Queen of the Supermarket,” “What Love Can Do,” “This Life,” “Good Eye,” “Tomorrow Never Knows,” “Life Itself,” “Kingdom of Days,” “Surprise, Surprise,” and “The Last Carnival” (with bonus tracks “The Wrestler” and “A Night With the Jersey Devil”.)

Bruce Springsteen’s career really took off in 1975 with his iconic album Born to Run. With its release the New Jersey native became a voice for the working class citizen of America and has since released a string of popular albums such as 1978′s Born in the U.S.A. After touring with his E Street Band for years, Springsteen and the guys parted ways in 1989 only to come back together, much to the delight of fans, in 1995 after Springsteen was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Since then Springsteen and the E Street Band have been a constant touring force, and if you haven’t seen them live you are missing out! Hurry up and get your Bruce Springsteen tickets today!

After Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s 2004 Super Bowl performance in which a wardrobe malfunction took center stage, the NFL has booked veterans instead of modern acts, and no one seems to be complaining. The Boss will be the fifth consecutive veteran act to play during the Super Bowl’s halftime show; Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have taken the stage in recent years. Not that Springsteen needs it, but Tom Petty and Prince both experienced increased record sales after their Super Bowl performances and it is perfect timing with the release of Working on a Dream.
