A new Bruce Springsteen recording premiered on 20 Dec 2024
On 20 Dec 2024, Bruce Springsteen called in Sirius XM's E Street Radio channel for an interview with host Jim Rotolo. The two talked about the ongoing tour and the upcoming Scott Cooper directed Springsteen biographical film Deliver Me from Nowhere, as well as what's next for 2025, including new music being released.
In the 10-minute conversation, Springsteen also talked about Slim Dunlap who passed away two days prior. He described him as "a unique guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the deepest and truest rock and roll souls I've ever heard." Springsteen had sent Rotolo in advance his own recording of Dunlap's GIRLFRIEND. It was premiered on-air midway through the interview. Introducing the song, Springsteen explained that he "cut it for a covers record that we were just fooling around with and working on in the studio with the band." When Rotolo asked Springsteen when he and the E Street Band recorded the song, he hesitantly answered that it was "probably a year ago or something. Yeah, just in the studio doing things." The song was likely recorded at Thrill Hill Recording (Springsteen's home studio) in Colts Neck, NJ.
