NEW YORK - Bruce Springsteen’s next album is expected for release around the time of Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration in January, according to the fan Web site Backstreets.com.

The follow-up to 2007’s “Magic” will likely contain the song “Workin’ on a Dream,” which Springsteen debuted last weekend at an Obama rally in Cleveland.

No other information is known about the project, and his representative was unavailable for comment. Springsteen is known to have had a wealth of material left over from “Magic” sessions with producer Brendan O’Brien, but it’s unknown whether any of those songs will make the cut.
