Bruce Springsteen Shares Lost Nineties Mariachi Song, “Adelita,” From ‘Tracks II’ Box Set

On Thursday (May 28), Bruce Springsteen shared another unreleased song from his expansive vault, “Adelita,” which is drawn from the previously shelved LP, Inyo, included in his forthcoming box set, Tracks II: The Lost Albums, due out June 27. “Inyo was a record I wrote in California during long drives along the California aqueduct, up through Inyo County on my way to Yosemite or Death Valley,” Springsteen says in a press release. “I was enjoying that kind of writing so much. I would go home to the hotel room at night and continue to write in that style because I thought I was going to follow up The Ghost of Tom Joad with a similar record, but I didn’t. That’s where Inyo came from. It’s one of my favorites.” “Adelita” pays tribute to the female Soldadera soldiers of the Mexican Revolution, and was created with a group of mariachi musicians who are featured on several tracks on Inyo.
