Springsteen’s autobiography Born To Run was released on September 27, 2016. Over the course of seven years, Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to the pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

The book was released with its musical companion Chapter and Verse, a collection of 18 songs chosen by Springsteen that trace his musical history from its earliest days with five previously unreleased tracks including two tracks from The Castiles, featuring a teenaged Springsteen on guitar and vocals.
