The album will include four audio tracks with accompanying videos. The tracks are:

In tribute to Federici, artists, songwriters and publishers involved in the project have agreed to donate all sales royalties to the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund. In addition, Columbia Records has also agreed to donate all of its net profits, and, in a similar show of respect for Federici, iTunes has agreed to donate net profits from all first year sales.

When Highlights is released on July 15, Springsteen’s official website, brucespringsteen.net, will offer further instructions about album download locations.
