Columbia Records and 20th Century Studios have announced the soundtrack album for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. The soundtrack is out December 5, and it finds the film’s star, Jeremy Allen White, covering classic songs by Bruce Springsteen. See the tracklist below.
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere centers on the making of Springsteen’s Nebraska, so the soundtrack finds White playing tracks from the iconic 1982 album. He does not, however, cover the full album, missing out on “Johnny 99,” “Used Cars,” and “Open All Night.” Instead, the soundtrack album includes two hits from Springsteen’s Nebraska successor, Born in the U.S.A.: the title song and and “I’m on Fire.” It also closes with covers of two songs that Springsteen and the E Street Band are known to favor—Little Richard’s “Lucille” and John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom”—and one that the Boss has never performed publicly, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell on You.”
Dave Cobb produced Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). The album includes additional contributions from Jay Buchanan, Aksel Coe, Bobby Emmett, and Greta Van Fleet’s Jake and Sam F. Kiszka.
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is out widely in U.S. theaters this Friday, October 24. It stars Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as the musician’s manager, Jon Landau.
It’s now two straight years that Columbia Records has released a soundtrack album that finds a movie star covering the music of a classic American artist. To go with the Bob Dylan film A Complete Unknown, the label shared a soundtrack featuring Timothée Chalamet’s versions of “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” “Like a Rolling Stone,” and more.
