Bruce Springsteen Announces Memoir Companion LP Featuring Unreleased Tracks

Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography, which is (of course) called Born To Run, is hitting bookshelves this fall, and its release will be accompanied by a corresponding companion album named Chapter And Verse. Springsteen hand-picked the songs that were included, which reflect the themes and progression of the book. It contains five previously officially unreleased tracks — two from his teenage band the Castiles and three other early demo recordings.
