Working on a Dream

Label
Columbia Records
Release Date
27 January 2009

At the end of the Magic sessions, Springsteen found himself still writing songs. Encouraged by producer Brendan O’Brien, he recorded during breaks on tour, exploring a classic pop sound for an album release coinciding with Super Bowl XLIII and the inauguration of President Barack Obama. “The Last Carnival” pays tribute to E Street organist Danny Federici, who passed away in 2008.
