Columbia Records presents a soundtrack album for the documentary Western Stars. The album contains each of the live performances from the movie performed by Bruce Springsteen.

The soundtrack, by Springsteen & Ron Aniello, will be released on October 25, 2019.

Western Stars is written and performed by Bruce Springsteen, with special guest Patti Scialfa. Thom Zimny, Jon Landau, Barbara Carr and George Travis produced the film, with Springsteen serving as executive producer.

Springsteen’s first studio album in five years, Western Stars marks a departure for the legendary singer/songwriter while still drawing on his roots.
Touching on themes of love and loss, loneliness and family and the inexorable passage of time, the documentary film evokes the American West — both the mythic and the hardscrabble — weaving archival footage and Springsteen’s personal narration with song to tell the story of Western Stars.
The film offers fans the world over their only opportunity to see Springsteen perform all 13 songs on the album, backed up by a band and a full orchestra, under the cathedral ceiling of his historic nearly 100-year-old barn.

'Bruce lives in the super rarified air of artists who have blazed new and important trails deep into their careers,' said Toby Emmerich, Chairman Warner Bros. Pictures Group, in making the announcement. 'With ‘Western Stars,’ Bruce is pivoting yet again, taking us with him on an emotional and introspective cinematic journey, looking back and looking ahead.
As one of his many fans for over 40 years, I couldn’t be happier to be a rider on this train with Bruce and Thom.'
