Los Angeles Bruce Springsteen, a legendary guitarist and vocalist, will soon release his project, “Tracks II: The Lost Albums.”
On social media, the singer announced something. No more details were given, but according to Variety, the first volume of “Tracks” was a 4-CD, 66-song compilation of unreleased material from throughout his career that was published in 1998.
The announcement’s instrumental music-accompanied video features studio documents from 1993 (the recording session for his Oscar-winning song “Streets of Philadelphia”) and 1997, along with the slogan, “What was lost has now been found.”
According to “Variety,” the date April 3, 2025, is also included, although it’s unclear whether the album or just further details will be revealed on that day.
When Bruce Springsteen, better known by his stage moniker “The Boss,” hinted to the record earlier this week—and announced that he would be embarking on a European tour the following month—his fan base erupted in excitement, with some even correctly speculating about what the project may include.
The full-band version of Springsteen’s “Nebraska” album, which he recorded but abandoned in 1981 and 1982 in favor of releasing his solo tracks because he believed they had a spirit and rawness that the band didn’t or couldn’t achieve, was, predictably, the most widely accepted estimate. At least some of those tracks are probably going to be on the album, as Jeremy Allen White’s biography about the record’s production, “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” is scheduled for publication later this year.
Since the initial “Tracks” album was published over 27 years ago, Springsteen has produced a number of archive collections. These include enhanced anniversary versions of his landmark albums “Born to Run,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” and “The River,” in addition to scores of live recordings that are accessible on his website.
