Bruce Springsteen revealed that his long-awaited next box set will be comprised of unreleased material from the 1990's. During a chat with Rolling Stone, “The Boss” explained, “I have a box set of five unreleased albums that are basically post-1988. People look at my work in the '90s and they go, 'The '90s wasn’t a great decade for Bruce. He was kind of doing this and he wasn’t in the E Street Band. . . ' I actually made a lot of music during that period of time. I actually made albums. For one reason or another, the timing wasn’t right or whatever, I didn’t put them out.”
Springsteen, who just released his first soul covers collection, Only The Strong Survive, said of his unreleased works: “I spent time over one of the past winters completely cleaning out the vault. I have a series of Tracks albums that eventually we'll release. Some of it is older stuff that the band plays on, and some of it is newer stuff where I was conceptualizing during that period of time. It’ll give people a chance to reassess what I was doing during that time period. Also, a lot of the stuff is really weird. I can’t wait to see the response to some of it (laughs).”
The upcoming 2023 dates will see the E Street Band supplemented by a horn section and a few background singers, recalling to fans the 2012/2013 “Wrecking Ball” tour. The additional played will be on board so that the band can included tunes from the new covers set.
