A song from the 1990s that you like or means something to you. - The Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen
The Boss won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album for the eponymous album that included this track. It was hist first acoustic album since Nebraska and it is a worthy successor. The song and album really cemented his legacy as a successor the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Bon Dylan as folk music interpreters of the real America.
