  Amazon.com: The Ghost of Tom Joad: Music: Bruce Springsteen   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Bruce Springsteen's 1995 release "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" is almost always compared to his haunting 1982 masterpiece "Nebraska," and for obvious reasons; the form and mood of "Tom Joad" is the same as its predecessor--a bare minimum of instrumentation and the same desperate, gloomy, brilliant subject matter.
And that's where "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" fails; it simply cannot be viewed as genius as "Nebraska," because the public was ready for it, and already knew the power that the 1982 album spawned.
Though it doesn't exceed "Nebraska," "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" is perfect for a sequel.

Individually, these songs, either angry or plaintive, are clean and expertly drawn tales of life along this nation's margins, and their cumulative effect is nothing short of heart-breaking; anyone who pegged Springsteen as a zealously patriotic conservative in the wake of the widely misunderstood Born in the U.S.A. needs to hear this disc.
The Ghost of Tom Joad failed to find the same audience (or the same wealth of media attention) that embraced Nebraska, but on it's own terms it's a striking and powerful album, and certainly one of Springsteen's most deeply personal works.

Inspired by John Steinbeck's 1939 masterpiece The Grapes of Wrath, Bruce Springsteen created his own work of art with his latest release -- The Ghost of Tom Joad.
In comparison to The Ghost of Tom Joad, Nebraska was a rousing rock ‘n' roll album.
Occasionally on this disc, Springsteen is accompanied by a band, but you'd hardly know it because they are as tempered as he is. But the style fits the folky songs quite well.

Yet TOM JOAD is more of an arranged album, with careful guitar arpeggios supported by an eerie bed of sustained synthesizer chords (played by E Street Band veteran Danny Federici and Springsteen) and a few full-band folk arrangements.
The Ghost of Tom Joad - a reference to the amazing John Ford adaptation of Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath (historian Howard Zinn believes that this film tells a student all they need to know about the great depression)- feels very much like a return to the world of Springsteen's masterpiece Nebraska (1982).
The Ghost of Tom Joad is a brilliant album, one that shows an artist back on peak form- which was evident on The Rising (2002)- it's a masterpiece and may very well usurp my Springsteen fave Nebraska in years to come.

I’ve been playing the song for a year now, and have studied video of Tom Morello playing the song live and this is pretty close.
When Rage performs it live, Tom uses a Jimmy Page style Gibson Les Paul doubleneck guitar (the bottom neck is a 6 string which he uses for most of the song, and the top neck is a 12 string that he uses only for the pre-verse).

Whereas the characters in NEBRASKA were lost souls wreaking havoc on the highways and backroads of the badlands, those on TOM JOAD are a mix of working-class Americans and immigrants running across (or into) the country in search of a pot of gold that isn't there.
Along the way, he's produced such low-key acoustic-based milestones as NEBRASKA and THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD, never losing the blue-collar ethos that is central to his vision.
