American Beauty

American Beauty is an EP from Bruce Springsteen, released 2014. It features four songs that were outtakes from his High Hopes album released the same year.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bruce Springsteen said,

“It’s got some nice things on it. This is material from the past decade. Some were demos that I never cut. I believe "American Beauty” was a demo I made that I didn’t end up cutting with Brendan. I believe “Hurry Up Sundown” was the same thing. The other two songs, one was cut for maybe Magic or Working on a Dream and they’re just good music that didn’t get onto this record and was sitting there. I thought it’s a nice time to support the record stores, which are dwindling and get some new music out at the same time."
