Without going into much detail, Bruce Springsteen's manager has confirmed a solo album will come out from The Boss next year and told Billboard that the release will be a '...very different kind of record.' Jon Landau says he doesn't mean acoustic, but one that's 'a very expansive record, a very rich record'. That certainly opens the floodgates for speculation. Orchestra backing, a concept album, a Rock Opera... sounds like anything's possible. As for now, Landau will only say it will rank as one of Bruce's most creative albums.
