Bruce Springsteen will accompany his upcoming film "Western Stars", based on his recent solo album, with a soundtrack featuring live recordings of the LP’s tracks plus a new cover of Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy”.
"Western Stars : Songs From The Film" is out on October 25th, 2019, the same day as the film’s arrival on theaters. It features Springsteen backed by a band, including his wife Patti Scialfa, and a full Orchestra, as he performs "Western Stars" 13 songs at Stone Hill Farm in Colts Neck, New Jersey, the singer’s own ranch.
“I think ending up in the barn had a lot to do with the way the thing felt, you know? It was just kind of gritty and intimate”, Springsteen said recently at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the film premiered. “It was very intimate, which is what a lot of the songs are”.
The soundtrack’s audio is pulled directly from the cinematic retelling of his 2019 album. Like the film itself, the soundtrack concludes with a riveting rendition of Glen Campbell’s classic “Rhinestone Cowboy”.
