Released on June 14, 2019. A stunning solo departure. Inspired by 1970s Southern California pop and country, this album features lush orchestral arrangements and songs about aging cowboys and fading actors. It is Springsteen's most cinematic and melancholy late-career work.

Released on October 23, 2020. A return to the E Street Band, recorded live in his home studio over five days. It includes three songs written in the 1970s alongside new meditations on mortality and friendship. "Ghosts" and "I'll See You in My Dreams" are beautiful tributes to fallen bandmates Federici and Clemons. springsteen albums by year

Released on September 30, 1982. An intentional left turn. Recorded alone on a 4-track Tascam in a New Jersey bedroom, Nebraska is a stark, haunting acoustic collection about murderers, outcasts, and the American subconscious. Though it contained no hits, it remains one of the most influential solo albums in history (Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash were fans). Released on June 14, 2019

* 1984: Born in the U.S.A. * Released on June 4, 1984. The commercial zenith. This album spawned seven Top 10 singles, including "Dancing in the Dark," "Glory Days," and "I'm on Fire." However, the title track is frequently misunderstood: a thunderous rock anthem with a scathing lyric about the mistreatment of Vietnam War veterans. It sold over 30 million copies worldwide. 1992: Human Touch & Lucky Town Released on March 31, 1992. Springsteen famously disbanded the E Street Band to release two albums on the same day. Human Touch is more polished and soul-influenced; Lucky Town is tighter and more reflective. While commercially successful, they are generally considered uneven compared to his 80s work. It includes three songs written in the 1970s
