Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost Of Tom Joad w/Tom Morello 2008



On a week that was Bob Dylan's birthday I went looking for "Song to Woody" and found only covers, which brought me to Woody Guthrie and to Andy Irvine and "The Ballad of Tom Joad" which led on to the above. Now if you haven't heard this you are in for a treat, and in a week of "Pronouncements" from those who would have you live on their lunch money, I suppose nothing much changes! This is a great ballad from Bruce Springsteen and the original version was as good as it gets and well worth looking up and having a listen to, but the above? There are those who would tell you that Tom Morello is the greatest rock guitarist of them all and hard to argue with that!

With thanks to "Darulezz" who posted it and "Youtube".
