Trouble River
''18 Tracks'' is an album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1999. All but three selections had been on the boxed set '' Tracks'', released six months before. This single album was intended to capture more casual fans, and thus was oriented towards the shorter, more pop-oriented selections from Springsteen's vault. "The Promise", a ''Darkness on the Edge of Town'' outtake that gained considerable reputation as Springsteen's ultimate tale of betrayal following live performances beginning in 1976 and even more so in 1978, was included in a newly recorded version among the three new numbers after howls of outrage from the faithful for leaving it off '' Tracks''. " The Fever" had been recorded in 1973 but never seriously considered for inclusion on an album; instead, it became familiar to progressive rock radio listeners as manager Mike Appel released it to such stations in 1974 and it became an underground hit. It was also recorded by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Obscure ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
