E Street Shuffle Archive

Part spaghetti western, part Mad Max, part War of the Worlds, “Evacuation of the West” is a brilliant, cinematic, fully realized E Street Band outtake that cries out for an official release.

From the outstanding tribute album Play Some Pool, Skip Some School, Act Real Cool comes this seriously sinister and rocking cover of Bruce’s moody original.

One time only: Bruce and the E Street Band rehearse a never-performed cover of Jimmy Cliff’s “Sufferin’ in the Land.”

Let’s break through the deception and illusion and get real.

Bruce Springsteen has given us hundreds of fantastic covers over the years. This isn’t one of them. (But it’s worth a listen anyway.)

For a summer without live music, it’s been a remarkably busy time for Bruce Springsteen. Here’s a quick round-up of the most must-watch/listen events of the summer.

In 1987, “Darlington County” became the eighth song from Born in the U.S.A. to hit the Billboard charts, but it wasn’t Bruce who took it there.

One time only: Bruce joins The Patti Smith Group on piano for a rave-up cover of The Velvet Underground classic.

A Labor Day special, courtesy of Canadian singer-songwriter Melissa McClellan’s rocking arrangement of “Factory.”

A salve for troubled times, Bruce’s sublime “Across the Border” reminds us of the power and necessity of hope.
