The Ghost of Tom Joad is an album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music). The album was recorded and mixed at Thrill Hill during the spring and summer of 1995. The album is mainly backed by acoustical guitar work and the lyrics on many of the tracks are a sombre reflection of life in the mid 1990s in America and Mexico. Tom Joad is the hero of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, and the title track was covered by political Metal band Rage Against the Machine.
