Dropping today as the third Tracks II: The Lost Albums preview track: "Faithless," the title track of the "lost" soundtrack album of music that Bruce Springsteen created for an unreleased film. As per today's official press release, "A meditation on purpose, belief and acceptance — intended to accompany a film described as a 'spiritual Western' — Springsteen recorded much of Faithless between the conclusion of the Devils & Dust Tour in November 2005 and the release of We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions in April 2006. Throughout the collection’s eleven songs — including four pieces of instrumental music, written as interstitial pieces for the film — Faithless explores Springsteen’s unique vision of spirituality in the mythic American West, while working inside of this uncharted artistic medium.
“'This was a really unusual collection of songs,' Springsteen remembers. With all of Faithless composed before a single frame of the film was shot — over a prolific two weeks in Florida — he explains of the results: 'You could recognize details and maybe a character or two. But for the most part, I just wrote atmospheric music that I thought would fit.' The album was recorded primarily as a solo pursuit, with appearances throughout by producer Ron Aniello, touring members of The E Street Band — Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Curtis King, Jr., Michelle Moore and Ada Dyer — as well as contributions from Patti Scialfa, Evan Springsteen and Sam Springsteen."
