By far the biggest highlight of the new music releases schedule for March 2012 is the first new Bruce Springsteen album in three years, 'Wrecking Ball.'

The album, mostly recorded as a solo project but featuring some members of the E Street Band, is his first since the death of saxophonist Clarence Clemons. If the first single, 'We Take Care of Our Own,' is any indication, fans of the traditional Springsteen sound are in for a treat.

March will also bring a new Meat Loaf record, live DVDs from Iron Maiden and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and a vinyl-only collection of demo tracks from the Doors.
