"Magic" is Springsteen's first new studio recording with the E Street Band since 2002's Grammy-winning, multi-platinum album "The Rising." The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's longtime manager, Jon Landau, described the new record in a statement as "a high energy rock CD," adding, "It's light on its feet, incredibly well played by Bruce and the members of the E Street Band, and, as always, has plenty to say."
