A&m/UMe celebrates the 30th-anniversary of Sting’s fourth solo album, Ten Summoner’s Tales, with a digital-only Expanded Edition released today. Originally released on March 1, 1993, the album title is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek mashup of the artist’s given surname, Sumner, and a character in Geoffrey Chaucer’s 15th-century literary classic The Canterbury Tales, the summoner.
The 27-track Expanded Edition features the original 12-song Ten Summoner’s Tales album plus 15 bonus tracks consisting of B-sides, remixes, alternate versions, and live performances (complete track listing included below). Eleven of these 15 bonus tracks were previously unavailable for digital download or streaming. Mixed by 4-time Grammy Award winning Robert “Hitmixer” Orton, the album is also available in Dolby Atmos. Listen to or purchase Sting’s Ten Summoner’s Tales – Expanded Edition Here.

Seven minutes before Bruce Springsteen is scheduled to call Rolling Stone to talk about his new R&b covers album, Only the Strong Survive, a number I’ve never seen before from Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey pops up on my cellphone. This is usually the point where a manager or publicist conferences in the interview subject, but there’s just one person on the other end of the line. “Hey,” says a gruff, familiar voice. “It’s Bruce.”

Bruce Springsteen kicked off his week-long tenure as lead guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Monday night by celebrating the release of his new album of soul covers, “Only the Strong Survive,” and clearing up the ongoing debate over lyrics to his iconic song, “Thunder Road,” from the 1975 album, “Born to Run.”
Asked by Fallon if Mary’s dress “sways,” or “waves,” Springsteen said he knew the question was coming, so he came prepared with a vinyl album.
“This record is almost 50 years old. Now, 50 years ago, I was a sociopath. So, I was insane about every single detail that had anything to do with music — my album, my album cover, my lyrics. I went over everything with a fine-toothed comb, so everything would be perfect and completely accurate. The lyrics to ‘Thunder Road’ are in this album. The correct lyrics.”

Bruce Springsteen makes his directorial debut in upcoming musical documentary Western Stars.
Bruce Springsteen was wrong when he predicted his legend on an outtake from Born in the USA. The Boss knew his "life would be immortalized." Not in some major motion picture or great American novel, though. His wife figured he was worthy of a "TV Movie." It seems he's getting every kind of movie except an After School Special. Gurinder Chada's new film Blinded by the Light projects an E Street presence onto a coming-of-age movie. Warner Bros. will release the upcoming Bruce Springsteen musical documentary Western Stars in theaters this fall. The film will make its world premiere at September’s Toronto International Film Festival.

The story of how Jon Landau saw Bruce Springsteen play at Cambridge, Massachusetts’ Harvard Square Theater on May 9th, 1974 and then declared him “rock and roll future” in Boston’s Real Paper, creating a tidal wave of hype that crested with the release of Born to Run the following year, has been told many times. What’s far less known is that a young photographer named Barry Schneier was perched near the stage that night, snapping gorgeous photographs of the early show and the late show along with the soundcheck.

Bruce Springsteen’s new album Western Stars is here and with it, a new video for the title track. Springsteen and the backing musicians from the album play the song in a bar, crosscut with scenes of Bruce driving a vintage Chevrolet El Camino though the West, roaming the desert and gazing out at the vast landscapes.
The song tells the story of an aging actor that was once shot by John Wayne on screen (“That one scene’s brought me a thousand drinks/Set me up and I’ll tell it for you,...

Bruce Springsteen has released a video for his new song ‘Tucson Train’ that shows him performing the tune with a large band. It’s the third single from his upcoming album Western Stars, but the first one to feature a video that he appears in.
“Tucson Train” is the story of a down-and-out man that leaves San Francisco “tired of the pills and the rain” after his relationship with a woman falls apart. “We fought hard over nothing,” Springsteen sings. “We fought till nothing remained/I’ve carried that nothing...

A civic Phoenix story is promised and effectively delivered in “Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock ‘N Roll,” even if there’s little doubt that what much of the audience will be hoping for from this documentary is Bruce, the whole Bruce and nothing but the Bruce. The film satisfies a good portion of that craving with its illumination of the club scene that formed the star’s early musical life, but Springsteen gradually becomes less of the focus in a doc that nobly aims to tell the story of a New Jersey seaside town’s rise, instant fall and veeeeery gradual comeback through the prism of music.
The middle portion of the film could be subtitled “Born to Be Run Down,” or maybe “Blinded by the Blight.” Ironically enough, Asbury Park’s trajectory became pretty much the exact opposite of Springsteen’s, right about the time he made both of them jointly famous.

Bruce Springsteen has just released “There Goes My Miracle,” the second single from his upcoming LP Western Stars. Like the first single, “Hello Sunshine,” it’s heavily influenced by 1960s/1970s California pop artists like Glenn Campbell and Burt Bacharach. It features a string section and soaring vocals by Springsteen.
The song is reminiscent of some of the lusher moments on Springsteen’s 2009 LP Working on a Dream. “In the past I was very often interested in making sure the band was a very tough rock band,” he told Rolling Stone...

“Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption, Rock n’ Roll,” a new documentary exploring the roots of the New Jersey sound, is hitting theaters worldwide for an engagement on May 22 and 29.
The film chronicles the town’s founding, its Jersey Shore heyday and dark periods like the race riots of the 1960s. Helping to dig deep into Asbury Park’s history are local luminaries Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Van Zandt (aka Little Steven) and Southside Johnny Lyon. The theater run was facilitated through a partnership with Jersey Mike’s Subs and Halo X Media. The two companies are teaming up to donate a portion of the profits to promoting and creating music education programs for children, according to a release.
“Jersey Mike’s is also an iconic part of the Jersey Shore and a great supporter of the community,” said the film’s Director Tom Jones. “Their heartfelt desire to make a difference makes...

Fans at the Asbury Park’s Music + Film festival had seen a lot of rare, mindblowing live Bruce Springsteen footage by the end of Saturday night. In the city’s old Paramount Theatre, where Springsteen has performed many times, they saw rare clips like a highly-charged performance of “Quarter to Three” from the Bottom Line in 1975, where Bruce got so caught up in the energy that he dropped his guitar pick, and a fan handed it back to him. There was a wild performance of “Who Do You Love” into...

Bruce Springsteen took a page out of the Taylor Swift playbook by dropping a video for his new single, “Hello Sunshine,” onto the Internet exactly at midnight. Springsteen doesn’t appear in the clip, which shows an old car with New Jersey plates traveling through the desert.
He spent all week teasing the release with cryptic photos of desert landscapes on his social media accounts, and on Thursday morning he revealed that his new LP Western Stars — his first album of new, original songs since 2012’s Wrecking Ball — would come out on June 14th.

Asbury Park is where you go when you don't want to go home. Waitresses may lose their desire but the aurora is always rising. There was a certain place in time where something was happening in the seaside resort that "wasn't happening any place else," the city pimp's main prophet Bruce Spingsteen explains in the new Asbury Park: Riot, Redemption and Rock N' Roll trailer. The music scene was so buoyant it "lifted you off the ground, remembers disciple of soul Steven Van Zandt.
