Bruce Springsteen has announced a new career-spanning compilation: Best of Bruce Springsteen is out April 19. The album’s digital edition features 31 tracks, opening with two songs from New Jersey rock icon’s 1973 debut, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., and closing with two songs from his latest album of originals, 2020’s Letter to You. See the digital tracklist below.
The cover of Best of Bruce Springsteen features a photo of Springsteen taken by Eric Meola during the Born to Run sessions. Physical editions of the compilation come with new liner notes by Erik Flannigan.
Springsteen released his first compilation, Greatest Hits, in 1995. He’s since shared retrospective collections like The Essential Bruce Springsteen and Chapter and Verse.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band toured heavily in 2023, but they had to cut things short so that the singer could get treatment for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease. The band gets back on the road in March.
