The Ghost of Tom Joad

by Bruce Springsteen

The Ghost of Tom Joad cover art

Echoing the stark acoustic bleakness of 'Nebraska', Bruce Springsteen delivers a deeply somber, highly political contemporary folk album with 'The Ghost of Tom Joad'. The record relies on incredibly sparse, pastoral instrumentation to paint conscious narratives of American poverty, crime, and social disenfranchisement.
