SoFlaJets Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 This along with the Nebraska work was recorded during the 2 year Corona Virus hiatus we were given as not-working musicians here in North Carolina. My son James added keyboards and some percussion stuff and even some guitar work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Nice! Where do you rank this album against Bruce's other work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 When I spoke to Bruce he told me that he understands how some of his fans like "that kind of stuff" me being one of those fans. I can put this album on still and listen to it from start to finish. I always thought of Tom Joad like a book on tape or like watching a movie in my mind. Tom Joad is one of my favorite Springsteen albums and any list of mine only goes to the turn of the century with the Tracks collection, anything beyond that start a whole other category of albums I NEVER listen to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interesting songs, but frankly was depressing as hell. At some point the "working man" schtick kinda became just that. Which is no small part how I stopped being a fan. Don't expect Springsteen was going to turn into DLR/Van Halen circa 1978 but the relentless downbeat act is simply too damn much. What do I know though; some people are paying thousands to fill stadiums to hear depressing songs about guys who didn't pay attention in high school and New Jersey. And after "41 Shots", well...leave it at that. Some working men are less than equal than others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Very nice. I think that's a great album and really love that tune. Still listen to it also. The one Bruce album I can say that about Across The Border is a favorite as well. Beautiful song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
