Updated: Springsteen recording in Nashville?

11:16AM
Here's some more fodder for the masses from Backstreets. A BTX'er, Steel Mill Retro says that they are absolutely down there recording in Nashville and that the report that Nils was working with Springsteen was in fact true but they were working on Patti's next album.

Also buried in this post is the fact that Brendan O'Brian (The Rising) will produce again and that we should expect a tour to start late spring, early summer.

Earlier than 11:16AM
According to a rumor report on the "Let it Bleed" blog (we try to check sites other than Backstreets and Greasy Lake), Springsteen and the E Street Band are in a studio in Nashville recording the next album. And they say that a summer tour is imminent.

Here's the post:

"Rumors have been circulating over the past few days that Bruce Springsteen, fresh off some recording time at his home studio with fellow E-Streeter Nils Lofgren, has spent that last couple of days recording with the E Street Band in a Nashville, TN studio. These rumors seem to strike at least some truth because of the fact that E Street drummer Max Weinberg hasn’t had much work to do (over the past week) with respect to his job with “Late Night” host Conan O’Brien (NBC). As of now, a summer tour is expected…."

Just reporting what I read.
