Fans may have to wait six+ months for the T Bone Burnett-produced album, which John previewed for journalists and friends last week, but he's giving a little taste of what's to come. "It's got everything I love about American music � gospel, soul, country," he reportedly said at the listening (via Rolling Stone).

The Diving Board is also apparently the "most piano-orientated record [he's] ever made," though it does feature a few famous guests on instrumental duties. Raphael Saadiq played bass, while Doyle Bramhall II and producer Burnett played guitar on various songs and Motown legend Jack Ashford covered percussion.
