Bruce Springsteen's forthcoming album will feature his longest studio song in decades, it has emerged.

The album's opening track 'Outlaw Pete' is eight minutes long – Springsteen's longest track since 'Drive All Night', which appered on his 1980 studio LP, 'The River'.

'Working On A Dream' also features the late E Street band member Danny Federici, who died in April, and his son, Jason.

The album is released on January 27th. A deluxe edition of 'Working On A Dream' will include a bonus DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage.

As previously reported, Springsteen completed work on the album after he left the campaign trail in support of President-elect Barack Obama.
