Our journey through Bruce Springsteen’s mammoth Tracks II box set continues. The Music Den‘s excellent review inspired me to move onto disk 3, the soundtrack for a planned ‘spiritual Western’ recorded around 2005. This is a beautiful collection of songs and instrumental pieces inspired by a character (or Bruce’s) struggle with faith and spirituality. According to Pitchfork:
“This was a really unusual collection of songs,” Springsteen said in press materials. “You could recognize details and maybe a character or two. But for the most part, I just wrote atmospheric music that I thought would fit.”
