20 years ago today (11/21/95), Bruce Springsteen released his second acoustic album (following Nebraska) The Ghost of Tom Joad. Following the 1995 studio reunion with the E Street Band and the release of Greatest Hits, Springsteen’s writing activity increased significantly. He wrote and recorded the album between March and September 1995. The album consists of 7 solo tracks and 5 band tracks. Watch Springsteen perform “Youngstown” from The Ghost of Tom Joad live in Youngstown, OH in 1996.
