Over Father's Day, a New Yorker cartoon humorously highlighted the generational gap in understanding Springsteen's music, prompting the writer to engage with Springsteen's new set, Tracks II: The Lost Albums. This release is part of Springsteen's larger effort over the past two decades to curate and showcase his work through various projects like memoirs and documentaries. While some view these archival collections as mere money-making ventures, they also illustrate a deeper impulse among iconic musicians to share their unreleased material and connect with fans, showcasing their ongoing relevance.
"It seems as if it's become a big part of his own project to explain Bruce Springsteen to anyone who cares to listen."
"Cynical minds might see cash grabs here, given that physical copies of The Lost Albums retail for upward of $300."
