The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story

Album by Bruce Springsteen

The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story is a 2010 box set compilation by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen. The collection compiles outtakes, alternate takes and live material from the late 1970s Darkness on the Edge of Town sessions, presenting rock and roots-influenced arrangements with a leaner, darker sonic palette and a lyrical focus on working-class themes that illuminate a pivotal transition in Springsteen's late 1970s career.
