"The Wrestler" first appeared in August 2008 at the 65th Venice International Film Festival debut of the film The Wrestler , and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, which it went on to win at the 66th Golden Globe Awards on January 11. The album version, without the end-credits string introduction, became available on iTunes on December 16, ahead of the film's opening in major US cities.

"A Night with the Jersey Devil" first appeared in October 2008 on Springsteen's website, accompanied by a Halloween-themed music video.

[44] The video, however, is featured in the DVD included with the album's deluxe edition (as listed below).

"Frankie Fell in Love", recorded during the album sessions but not released, was reworked for the 2014 album, High Hopes .
