This time of year is full of nostalgia and looking back. A time to reflect on what led you to who you are today. Bruce Springsteen’s music is full of nostalgia, so it’s unsurprising that he would take the time to look back and honor the music that shaped him on his new album, Only the Strong Survive.

This isn’t your average old man covers album, The Boss is truly honoring these songs that he loves. Turning - at times obscure - soul songs from the past into Springsteen-esque stadium rockers.

It’s a fun and exuberant covers album that breathes new life into some forgotten songs. Dig into the past with Bruce Springsteen’s Only the Strong Survive, our Album of the Week on The Current.
