In October of 1975, Bruce Springsteen became the first rock star in history to simultaneously land on the covers of Time and Newsweek magazines. Fifty years later, he’s back on the cover of the current Time.

He’s usually so humorous. His “People Against The Abuse Of Acronyms” graced our “Visual Sound” section last April, followed by “Underwater Basket Weaving” in October. But his latest work takes a deeper turn: a new song called “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” inspired by Springsteen’s 1982 depression and the friendship with Jon Landau that helped him through. (Scott Cooper’s film of the same name comes out this month.)

The new Bruce film, Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White, is almost here and its protagonist has been duly promoting it. At a recent advance screening of the film at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, Bruce sat and answered questions. As the credits rolled at film’s end, the audience gave it a standing ovation.

On October 17, one week before the Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere feature film hits theaters Oct. 24, Sony Music will release Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition with previously unreleased material, including a full-length Blu-Ray concert, and a raw stripped-down “Born In The USA” from the Electric Nebraska sessions.

A special concert this Wednesday, Sept. 3, has been added to the various celebrations put on by the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music (BSACAM) to honor the 50^th Anniversary of Born To Run, the album that made Bruce a star.

The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center For American Music (BSACAM) on the campus of Monmouth University in West Long Branch will hold a four-day symposium in celebration of the album that made Bruce a star. The events will be held September 4, 5, 6 and 7 with a conference, an art exhibit, and a screening of previously-unreleased footage shot during the making of the album in 1975.

The highly-anticipated Bruce movie—Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere—is set to open in theaters October 24. The trailer has just been released (see it here).

One of the seven never-before-heard Bruce albums coming in that big beautiful box we’ve been telling you about—Tracks II: The Lost Albums (Sony Music)—due June 27 is Twilight Hours, his homage to the Great American Songbook.

June 27 can’t come fast enough. That’s the date seven complete never-before-heard Springsteen albums will be released in one big beautiful box, Tracks II. One of the albums, Inyo, is particularly fascinating as it contains his 1990s collaborations with a host of Mariachi Musicians.

Now everyone can hear what went down on the first night of the Euro Springsteen tour May 14 in Manchester England as a new EP has been released digitally as Land Of Hope & Dreams. Besides the dramatic title tune, The E Street Band revs up “Long Walk Home,” “My City Of Ruins” and, most profoundly, a unique and lump-in-your-throat cover of “Chimes Of Freedom,” a song just as applicable now as when Dylan wrote it 61 years ago in 1964.

One of the seven never-before-heard complete albums due June 27 in Springsteen’s mammoth Tracks II box is Somewhere North of Nashville, where honky-tonk and rockabilly rule. Clearly, Bruce was searching, and the result, at least on “Repo Man,” is rather revelatory (like how “Pink Cadillac” was also never on any album but now is a favorite.) “Repo Man” has that rebel yell. (You can hear it here.)

Leave it to Bruce and the boys to not stop their world domination for too long. You’d think it was an audience from down the shore if you saw how Euro crowds just love this band. These dates represent their only shows of 2025. Over 700,000 fans are expected in these six countries, on a seemingly never-ending world tour that started in February of 2023 when they hit the road for the first time in six years.

One of the seven complete never-before-released albums due June 27 in Tracks II, the mammoth Sony Music Bruce box, is a soundtrack he wrote and recorded for a movie that never got released, the title track of which, “Faithless,” is a somber meditative haunting slice of folk-pop (hear it below).

As previously reported, the Box Of The Year comes June 27 when Tracks II: The Lost Albums will contain seven complete never-before-heard Springsteen albums in one massive package. One of the albums is the highly anticipated 10-track Streets Of Philadelphia Sessions.

British label Ace Records will release Springsteen’s Country on May 30. The label had previously released in 2022 Ladies Sing The Boss with The Patti Smith Group, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Bettye LaVette, The Cowboy Junkies, Darlene Love, Lucy Dacus, Jessie Kennedy, Deana Carter, Solas, Piney Gir, Soccer Mommy, Moa Holmsten, Hem, Shovels & Rope, Thea Gilmore, Kerry Hart, Anna Calvi and Aoife O’Donovan.

Seven never-before-heard Bruce albums will be released for the first time on June 27.  Rumors have abounded for years that Bruce had recorded more albums that were shelved, only played for friends and family of the artist. Now we’ll all get to hear them.

The latest album in Bruce Springsteen’s archival series of live shows is Omaha, NE Nov 15, 2012. It is here, in the great state of Nebraska, where he performed six songs from what many consider his greatest album, Nebraska.

Swedish singer Alexandra Jardvall’s In The Spirit of Springsteen: The Live Sessions Volume #1 is out online with 15 Bruce songs done live by her and guitarist Richard Hauer.

The release of Tracks, by Bruce Springsteen, in 1998, was a treasure chest of great material with 66 songs originally deemed not worthy enough to be added to his official releases. In actuality, though, the songs hit like a bolt from the blue, equally stirring and some cases even better what was released officially. In a press release from the Bruce camp, the last sentence reads “upcoming releases in 2025 will include a look back at Springsteen’s storied recording career, featuring never-before-heard material.”

The story goes that Bruce didn’t even want to include “No Surrender” on 1984’s Born In The USA but did so at the insistence of Stevie Van Zandt. It’s since become a concert staple, one of the most beloved songs in the Bruce catalog. It’s been covered 19 times by artists from all around the world but not like the one-named singer-songwriter Rowe from Hopewell in Mercer County.
