Springsteen hits from the '70s and '80s like \"Dancing in the Dark,\" \"Cover Me,\" \"Hungry Heart,\" \"Born to Run\" and, of course, \"Blinded by the Light,\" are featured on the movie's soundtrack.

Three unreleased recordings are also included: a studio version of \"I'll Stand by You,\" a 1979 version of \"The River\" that Springsteen and The E Street Band played in New York City, and a solo acoustic rendition of \"The Promised Land\" performed in Washington, D.C., in 2014.

The soundtrack is out this Friday, while the movie itself hits theaters on Aug. 16.
