Hear New Bruce Springsteen Song ‘Repo Man’ From ‘The Lost Albums’

Bruce Springsteen has released another song from the upcoming box set, Tracks II: The Lost Albums.

“Repo Man” marks the fourth advance track from the set, collecting seven previously unreleased albums dating from 1983. This latest song is from the mid-’90s LP Somewhere North of Nashville.

The album was recorded at the same time as The Ghost of Tom Joad during the summer of 1995. E Street Band members Danny Federici and Garry Tallent play on the song, along with Gary Mallaber, Marty Rifkin and Soozie Tyrell.

You can hear the bar-band rocker “Repo Man” below.

“What happened was I wrote all these country songs at the same time I wrote The Ghost of Tom Joad,” Springsteen explains in a press release announcing the song. “Those sessions completely overlap each other. I’m singing ‘Repo Man’ in the afternoon and ‘The Line’ at night. So the country record got made right along with The Ghost of Tom Joad.

“‘Streets of Philadelphia’ got me connected to my socially conscious or topical songwriting. So that’s where The Ghost of Tom Joad came from. But at the same time, I had this country streak that was also running through those sessions, and I ended up making a country record on the side.”

Somewhere North of Nashville was recorded live in the studio with the backing band and includes two songs first recorded at the Born in the U.S.A. sessions more than a decade earlier, “Stand on It” and “Janey Don’t You Lose Heart.” Both tracks were released as B-sides in the mid-’80s.
