Devils & Dust is the thirteenth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, and his third acoustic album (after Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad). It was released on April 25, 2005, in Europe and the following day in the United States, where it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 album chart.

Background
Springsteen revealed that many of the songs from Devils & Dust dated back a decade or more.[1] He wrote `All the Way Home` for Southside Johnny to use in his album Better Days (1991). `Long Time Comin" and `The Hitter` were written and performed on Springsteen`s 1996 solo Ghost of Tom Joad Tour. `Devils & Dust` featured in soundchecks during The Rising Tour in 2003. The following year it was on the set list for at least one Vote for Change show, but was swapped out at the last moment for a 12-string guitar rendition of the `Star Spangled Banner`, which he would later release for free through his official website.[1]

Release and promotion
On March 28 the title track was featured as an exclusive preview on AOLmusic.com.[2] The next day it was released on iTunes, and also on DualDisc, the DVD side of which featured Springsteen performing and commenting on five tracks: `Devils and Dust`, `Long Time Comin", `Reno`, `All I`m Thinkin` About`, and `Matamoros Banks`.[3] Springsteen embarked on a solo Devils & Dust Tour to promote the album.[4]

Starbucks had been considered a possible retail outlet for the album, as it had accounted for about a quarter of all sales for the recently successful Ray Charles`s Genius Loves Company.[5] The company declined, with news coverage citing as reasons the song `Reno`, with its reference to anal sex,[6] and Springsteen`s refusal to approve a co-branded disc and promotional deal that prominently featured the Starbucks name. `There were a number of factors involved. It [the lyrics] was one of the factors, but not the only reason,` Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment, told Reuters.[5] At a concert at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, Springsteen introduced `Reno` by joking that the album would be available `at Dunkin` Donuts and Krispy Kreme stores everywhere.`[7] Devils & Dust was Springsteen`s first album to be released with a Parental Advisory warning, chiefly due to `Reno`.[8][9]

The album was Springsteen`s seventh No. 1, and fourth No. 1 debut, on the Billboard albums chart, his second for an album containing only previously unreleased content, and his first ever without the E Street Band.[10] It went gold in the US in 2006, where it had sold 650,000 copies as of November 2008.[10]
