It's a treat, not a trick. There's a new Bruce Springsteen video and download up at brucespringsteen.net. The song's called "A Night With The Jersey Devil," and it's a blues-stomp that borrows from Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy," and employs the voice altering microphone that Springsteen used on "Reason To Believe" on the Devils & Dust tour. Spooky. Watch the Boss rise from the swamp, and pretend he was born with a forked tail like Mother Leeds' mythical 13th child on the YouTube version below, or in higher quality at his official website. The download is free here.
