Update: Bruce Springsteen Releasing Seven ‘Lost Albums’

Last year, the Bruce Springsteen camp said that 2025 would bring “a look back at” his “storied recording career, featuring never-before-heard material,” That tease is now bearing fruit, as the Boss has confirmed he will release a whopping seven previously unheard albums on the aptly named Tracks II — The Lost Albums. The 83-track collection will be released June 27 through Sony Music.

After delving into his legendary vault for the first time with the original, 66-song Tracks in 1998, Springsteen began giving specific albums the dedicated rarities-packed boxed set treatment in 2010 with The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story. That was followed in 2015 by The Ties That Bind: The River Collection.

Tracks II is divided into LA Garage Sessions ’83, Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, Faithless, Somewhere North of Nashville, Inyo, Twilight Hours and Perfect World. The latter boasts the song “Rain in the River,” which is out now. “The Lost Albums were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,” Springsteen said. “I’ve played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I’m glad you’ll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them.”

Per a press release, Faithless is akin to a soundtrack for a film that was never made, Somewhere North of Nashville features “country combos with pedal steel,” Inyo includes “richly woven border tales” and Twilight Hours is “orchestra-driven, mid-century noir.” As for Perfect World, it is said to possess an “arena-ready E Street flavor.”

“The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions,” the artist added. Tracks II will be available in a nine-LP or seven-CD package, with each of the seven albums housed in its own distinctive package. It includes a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book detailing the lineage of the music.

Tracks II was produced by longtime Springsteen collaborator Ron Aniello, who plays on much of the material, as well as engineer Rob Lebret and Springsteen manager Jon Landau.

Beyond a 16-show European tour this summer with the E Street Band, Springsteen remains closely involved with the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, in which he will be portrayed by The Bear star Jeremy Allen White. The movie chronicles the making of the 1982 album Nebraska and portions of it have been filmed on location at the Jersey Shore.
