    This book is going to be something special. Listening to him tell stories live is as exciting as the songs! He really has a knack for storytelling.

    Glad to see The Castiles and Steel Mill songs making this. Wish there was a bit more unreleased tracks on this, but that's just because there is never enough Springsteen songs to listen to. Really looking forward to reading the book.

    I think I must have read about 20 Bruce biographies not to mention all the essays etc... This book will be everything.

    Already got the book preordered. Won't buy the compilation, but I'm looking forward to hearing those unreleased tracks.

    I kind of wish he'd done something like pick his favorite deep cut from every album. How often have most of these times been repackaged as greatest hits now? We've gotta be pushing double digits.

    That would be awesome. You're right, yeah - people who are buying his autobiography have definitely already heard born to run and the river before, haha
