In the decades following his emergence on the national scene in 1975, Bruce Springsteen proved to be that rarity among popular musicians,
an artist who maintained his status as a frontline recording and performing star, consistently selling millions of albums and selling out
arenas and stadiums around the world year after year, as well as retaining widespread critical approbation, with ecstatic reviews
greeting those discs and shows. Although there were a few speed bumps along the way in Springsteen's career, the wonder
of his nearly unbroken string of critical and commercial success is that he achieved it
while periodically challenging his listeners by going off in unexpected directions

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The Ghost of Tom Joad is more explicitly political than Nebraska (more so than anything in Springsteen's catalog, for that matter),
and while the arrangements are more full-bodied than those on Nebraska (five cuts feature a full band), the production
and the overall tone is, if anything, even starker and more low-key, with the lyrics all the more powerful for their spare backdrops.
While there's an undertow of bitterness in this album's tales of an America that has turned its back on the working class
and the foreign-born, there's also a tremendous compassion in songs like "The Line," "Sinaloa Cowboys," "Balboa Park,"
and the title cut, which lend their subjects a dignity fate failed to give them. 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 heartbreaking;
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....(AllMusic)
