Bruce Springsteen to release seven albums of unreleased songs
Tracks II: The Lost Albums includes 83 tracks recorded between the years 1983 to 2018.
In a video, the 75-year-old explains: 'I often read about myself in the 90s as having some lost period or something. Really, I was working the whole time.
'During the pandemic, what I did for that period of time was I finished everything I had in my vault.
'So this is Tracks II: The Lost Albums. (They) are records that were full records. Some even to the point of being mixed and not released.
'For one reason or another, something I felt was missing from some of them, or they just didn't feel complete at the time.'
He adds: 'Over a period of time, I built up a small collection of full albums that, for one reason or another, never got put out.'
On Thursday, he released the song Rain In The River — which comes from the lost album Perfect World.
The six other albums are titled LA Garage Sessions '83, Streets Of Philadelphia Sessions, Faithless, Somewhere North Of Nashville, Inyo and Twilight Hours.
They will come in limited-edition nine LP, seven CD and digital formats with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring archival photos and a personal introduction to the project from Springsteen.
A companion set titled Lost And Found: Selections From The Lost Albums will feature 20 highlights from across the collection – available on two LPs or one CD.
Springsteen, also known as The Boss, has been making music for decades and formed his backing group the E Street Band in 1972.
He has won 20 Grammys across his career, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
Last year saw the release of documentary, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band, which included footage of rehearsals, backstage moments and personal reflections from the Born In The USA singer.
The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White is set to play the veteran music star in an upcoming biopic titled Deliver Me From Nowhere.

Influential? Absolutely. Here are some drummers inspired by St. Catharines' Neil Peart
'You can't play drums and not love Neil ...,' Lars Ulrich Neil Peart served as Rush's drummer and lyricist for four decades, selling millions of albums and being inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame, as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Peart was born in Hamilton but grew up in St. Catharines, and many of his songs were influenced by his experiences here. Neil Peart at work during the Rush concert at Hamilton's Copps Coliseum in July 2013. Peart died in 2020 from brain cancer at the age of 67, and it wasn't long before there was discussion of a local memorial. Niagara Region Coun. Kelly Edgar from St. Catharines was one of the early advocates, and a fundraising campaign was launched for a proposed memorial in Lakeside Park. The campaign is struggling, however. Artist Morgan MacDonald of the Newfoundland Bronze Foundry was selected to create a St. Catharines memorial in Neil Peart's honour by an evaluation committee. Fundraising for the Lakeside Park project is faltering, however. Aside from Peart's impact on Canadian rock fans, there is also the impact he left on the music industry as a whole. 'He was called 'The Professor' for a reason: We all learned from him,' Dave Grohl Multiple drummers have credited Peart as being an inspiration and influence on their own work. Here are some drummers who have called Peart one of their inspirations: Dave Grohl with Nirvana. Before fronting Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana. Hearing Rush's '2112' album 'changed the direction ' of Grohl's life and motivated him to become a drummer. Peart was 'as influential as any religion or any hero or any person in someone's life,' he said in a 2013 story with Rolling Stone magazine. Dave Grohl of the band Foo Fighters performs at the Rock in Rio music festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in September 2019. Grohl got to perform with Rush in 2013 as part of the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he describes it as 'one of the most special nights of my life. 'He was called 'The Professor' for a reason: we all learned from him ,' said Grohl in an article in Far Out. Taylor Hawkins, who drummed for Foo Fighters until his death in 2022, also cited Peart as an influence during Rush's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013: 'This guy spawned a generation of air-drummers … There can never be another Neil Peart.' Taylor Hawkins, left, and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters react as they induct Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Bassist Flea and drummer Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton in 2017. The drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers believes 'it's a prerequisite for all rock drummers to go through a Neil Peart phase,' in the Far Out article . According to Smith, a good portion of his sophomore year in high school was spent listening to '2112.' Drummer Lars Ulrich of Metallica performs live at U.S. Bank Stadium in August 2016 in Minneapolis. According to Ulrich, getting advice from Peart early on in his career was like hearing from 'the god of gods.' Ulrich fondly recalls talking to Peart for the first time on the phone in 1984. Peart was happy to give Ulrich, who was 20 at the time, info on everything from gear to technique. 'You can't play drums and not love Neil,' he says. Lars Ulrich drums as Metallica visits Toronto's Rogers Centre in July 2017 during the band's WorldWired Tour in support of its 10th studio album 'Hardwired To Self-Destruct.' After Peart's death, Ulrich posted on Instagram: 'Thank you for inspiring me and for all your help and advice along the way, especially in the early days when you took the time to talk to a young green Danish drummer about recording, gear and the possibilities that lay ahead.' Drummer Danny Carey with Tool at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton in May 2017. After winning a Grammy for best metal performance in 2020, Tool's Danny Carey discussed the influence Peart had on his drumming style, in a story on which cited his 2020 Grammy Award comments. Carey aimed to replicate Peart's precision with his style, listing the Rush drummer in a trifecta of influences, along with Led Zeppelin's John Bonham and jazz drummer Tony Williams.

Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong wow in new 'Springsteen' movie footage
NEW YORK — The King of New Jersey is taking his Hollywood throne. Emmy winners Jeremy Allen White ('The Bear') and Jeremy Strong ('Succession') star in the highly anticipated Bruce Springsteen biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' (in theaters Oct. 24), which debuted its first trailer last month. On July 29, Disney shared more new footage from the film with a small group of journalists, as the Mouse House touted a slew of upcoming movies from its slate including 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' (Dec. 19) and 'Tron: Ares' (Oct. 10). The 'Springsteen' clips were introduced in a prerecorded message by writer/director Scott Cooper, who shared his desire to focus on a specific chapter of the rock icon's career: the creation of his riskier, more downbeat 1982 album 'Nebraska.' 'It was never about telling the whole story of Bruce Springsteen,' said Cooper, adding he wanted to avoid 'a traditional biopic' in favor of something darker and more introspective. 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' trailer: See Jeremy Allen White transform into Bruce Springsteen Jeremy Allen White nails Bruce Springsteen's singing voice in new movie In one clip, Bruce (White) sits at a Manhattan diner with manager Jon Landau (Strong), looking disheveled and withdrawn as he says that it's hard to come back home after touring. 'The quiet can get a little loud,' Strong's character tells him. 'Coming off the road has never been easy for you. You just need to give it some time. It'll pass.' The two men walk out of the diner and down the block, where a passerby shouts, 'Love you, Bruce!' 'You see that?' Landau says, smiling. 'I'll tell you, hit singles aren't so bad.' The next clip is a flashback to Bruce's childhood, in which his dad (Stephen Graham) points to a large house and says that 'all your problems will disappear' if you have money. The scene cuts to an adult Bruce strumming on his guitar, with White doing an uncanny Springsteen impression as he warbles 'Mansion on a Hill.' Although the actor only bears a passing resemblance to Springsteen, his spot-on vocals and soulful essence may be enough to land him in Oscar contention this coming awards season. Jamie Lee Curtis, James L. Brooks joke about being in a 'throuple' Throughout the roughly hourlong presentation, Disney screened rough footage from the animated 'Zootopia 2' (Nov. 26) and the just-released trailer for 'Predator: Badlands' (Nov. 7) with Elle Fanning. James L. Brooks, the film and TV legend behind 'The Simpsons' and 'Broadcast News,' was also on hand with Jamie Lee Curtis to share a handful of new clips from their feel-good family drama 'Ella McCay' (Dec. 12), about a rising legal star (Emma Mackey) juggling personal and professional responsibilities. The star-studded film features Woody Harrelson, Ayo Edebiri, Kumail Nanjiani, and Jack Lowden, and marks Brooks' first movie in 15 years. 'Here's the amazing truth about Jamie Lee,' Brooks told reporters as he introduced the footage. 'She's everything you could ever want her to be.' Curtis, who plays Ella's aunt Helen, said it was a 'life-changing experience' to work with Brooks. 'At first I was terrified, but now I'm massively in love with him,' Curtis quipped. 'His wife, Mrs. Brooks, and I have come to an understanding. The word 'throuple' has been (thrown around)!' Brooks said Curtis was his only choice to play Helen, which the Oscar-winning actress handwaved away. 'I can take it! I've been a replacement part many times,' Curtis said. 'I was a replacement part in 'Knives Out,' I was a replacement part in 'Freaky Friday,'' whose sequel arrives in theaters Aug. 8. 'You know what? Life hinges on a couple seconds you never see coming.'
