Get ready to dust off your air guitar, because Bruce Springsteen is about to drop a musical avalanche with his shiny new “Tracks II: The Lost Albums” collection, hitting the streets on June 27. The Boss is serving up seven—yep, SEVEN—full-length albums stuffed with over 80 never-before-heard tunes, proving he’s been hoarding more hits than a squirrel with a nut obsession.
These sonic treasures, cooked up between 1983 and 2018, got a pandemic polish when Bruce decided to raid his “vault” like a rock ‘n’ roll Indiana Jones. He spilled the beans in a trailer dropped on Thursday, and let’s just say the man’s been sitting on a goldmine longer than your grandma’s couch has been hiding loose change.
“‘The Lost Albums’ are legit full-on records—some even mixed and ready to roll, but I kept ‘em under wraps,” Bruce bragged in a Thursday statement. “I’ve been jamming these for myself and my inner circle of cool kids for years. Now it’s your turn to crank ‘em up—hope you don’t blow your speakers, but no promises!”
To whet your whistle, Bruce tossed out the first single, “Rain In The River,” on Thursday, plucked from the album Perfect World. The other six discs in this musical buffet? Feast your ears on LA Garage Sessions ‘83, Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, Faithless, Somewhere North of Nashville, Inyo, and Twilight Hours. It’s like a seven-course meal of Springsteen goodness!
Expect a wild ride of sounds—think Bruce’s classic drum-loop-and-synth vibes, a side of twangy country spice, and even some fancy orchestral flair that’ll make you feel like you’re in a movie montage. “Recording at home was like having a musical playground with no bedtime,” Bruce chuckled. “I went full mad scientist, mixing up every genre I could think of!”
While your stereo’s gearing up for this summer explosion, Bruce and his E Street Band cronies are limbering up to rock Europe, kicking off in Manchester in May and wrapping up in Milan in July. So, grab your dancing shoes and maybe a spare pair of eardrums—Bruce is back, and he’s bringing the whole vault with him!
