With the upcoming launch of Ship Me From Nowhere, the biopic chronicling the making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, there’s renewed curiosity within the long-rumored full-band model of the album, affectionately dubbed Electrical Nebraska by followers. Some had even hoped The Boss may shock launch the file to coincide with the movie’s premiere in October. In a brand new interview with Rolling Stone, Springsteen confirmed that the album does certainly exist — but it surely’s not in any accomplished type.
At first Springsteen appeared to neglect that the file existed, telling Rolling Stone’s Andy Greene, “We tried to do a number of songs with the band for a number of minor electrical variations of ‘Nebraska,’ possibly one thing else, I’m undecided. However that file merely doesn’t exist. There isn’t any electrical Nebraska exterior of what you hear us performing onstage.” Greene then reminded him that E Road Band members Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan had beforehand talked about operating by the songs, to which Springsteen responded, “I’ve no recollection of it, however I can inform you there’s nothing in our vault that might quantity to an electrical Nebraska.”
However after the interview Springsteen re-checked his vault and adopted up with Greene to substantiate that “there IS an electrical Nebraska file although it doesn’t have the total album of songs.” Springsteen didn’t elaborate on any plans to launch the music — although maybe it may very well be included as a part of the forthcoming Tracks III?
