Following the accidental release of High Hopes on Amazon, CBS has decided to stream Bruce Springsteen's new LP on their official website. According to Rolling Stone, all of this is part of a promotional tie-in with The Good Wife, which will feature the new tracks "High Hopes," "Hunter of Invisible Game" and "The Ghost of Tom Joad" on its January 12 episode called "We, the Juries." The website will begin streaming the full album at 7 p.m. on January 5 before a preview of the episode is shown.
"We love using music in The Good Wife, and we always have the music inform the action and the cutting," Robert King and Michelle King, executive producers and creators of The Good Wife, said in a press release. "So when the Bruce Springsteen songs became available, we couldn't believe our luck. We wished we could use the whole album."
High Hopes officially drops January 14, despite many fans already having a copy due to Amazon's mistake. The album is a mix of covers, new versions of previously released songs, and cuts from Springsteen's recent albums.
"The best way to describe this record is that it's a bit of an anomaly," Springsteen Rolling Stone. "But not much. I don't really work linearly like a lot of people do. ...The songs were relatively current and had a similar sound picture. I was interested in putting this material together in some form because it sounded like it all fit together."
