As Jeremy Allen White’s lead performance in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere proves, when you’re portraying a troubled rock star in a biopic, precise physical resemblance isn’t nearly as important as capturing the sunken-eyed soul and wounded spirit of the subject. And White’s commitment to embodying the essence of circa-1982 Bruce Springsteen extends to the film’s soundtrack, which sees the actor drawlin’ and hollerin’ his way through the Nebraska-era catalog with equal amounts of studious reverence and unfiltered emotion. He delivers the urban-wasteland blues of “Atlantic City” with just the right balance of choked-up sadness and simmering anger, and he fully immerses himself in the haunted intensity of “State Trooper,” whose creeping acoustic strums and Suicide-inspired jump-scare yelps gradually envelop you like a thick fog. The soundtrack also showcases White in blustery Born in the U.S.A. mode, as he belts out that album’s towering title track with the appropriate fist-pumping passion, while members of Greta Van Fleet and serve as his unofficial E Street Band for rambunctious rips through some of Bruce’s favorite rock ’n’ soul standards: “Lucille,” “Boom Boom,” and “I Put on a Spell on You.” If this whole acting thing doesn’t work out for White, fronting a Springsteen cover band would be a solid plan B.
