Format:Audio CD
This is one of Springsteens best albums. It is in the same vein as 'Nebraska' and has echos of 'Devils and Dust' to come. It is supremely chilled out and very relaxing to listen to, his voice perfectly pitched to tell the stories in each song. This album contains such gems as the title track, 'Youngstown', 'Dry lightning' and 'Best wasn't good enough' to end the album on a perfect note. I tend to feel that the album is best listened to in it's entirety to get the full benefit from it though. This is Springsteen doing what he does best, which is telling a beautiful story, backed by great music, simple as that. Don't buy it expecting the Stadium anthems of the 80's, but do expect some of the best music that Bruce has ever put out.

This is no ordinary Springsteen album. It is remarkable for its arrangements: spare sober, acoustic. Its typical Springsteen for the stories behind the songs; full of American people who try hard to make it, who chase that American dream & meet tragedy on the way. Springsteen makes a case for the people, who are somtimes forced to act illegally without much choice. Here he touches a raw nerve in American society.
Hauntingly beautiful, Spingsteen sings poignantly, without his usual powerful, bombastic sound. Much in line with I'm on fire from Born in the USA. So much the better in my opinion. An album which gets you, without much force, and which leaves a lasting impression.

Bruce Springsteen: rebel soul, rock renegade, the guy from Philly who only ever sang about cars n' girls; his is a legacy tainted by misinformed paradoy and undeserved malign. In the 70s he was already unstoppable; in the 80s he adopted a commercial bent that propelled him into the realms of superstar (& beyond) - by 1995, with a fair wedge stashed down in Asbury Park, Springsteen had made his millions, and he'd grown old. He didn't need to sing about racing the caddy no more, nor about dating Bobby Jean or sippin' beers after the game. Instead he put it all aside, dispensed with the E-Street sound completely, picked up his acoustic guitar, and made an album from the brink of desolation, a subtle Dylannesque masterpiece, laced with simple, lax melancholy and brimming with wealths of experience, nostalgia and knowing. Never self-indulgent, 'Tom Joad' showcases The Boss' woefully overlooked songsmanship - it's the greatest record he's ever made. A stylistic departure from past releases, and then some, this is the sound of a man unafraid to sound his age - this is grown up music. Springsteen has been a crucial mouthpiece for blue-collar America for the last 30 years. In assesing his career, let us hope that the inclement critic will turn here in his final pause: a phenominal legacy, and a totally gorgeous, unrefined, bare-bones folk wonder-work: dripping with honesty, sheer grit and irrepressable subtlety. The soundtrack to your salvation: invest - it'll enrich your life. It certainly has, mine.

I bought this as a result of hearing the title track on "The best of ", and because it had some of the same sound of "Devils and Dust", which I already had and love dearly. Read more

Amazing
I am not a huge springsteen fan. A lot of his stuff i can take or leave. However this album is nothing short of superb. Haunting, yet beautiful. Intense but delicate. Read more

No comparison with "Nebraska", but OK.
We bought this on the strength of purchasing and loving "Nebraska". Although we like his words and tunes, neither of us cares for the overblown, full-on, big band Springsteen sound... Read more

The album for non-fans
Bruce Springsteen is a massive name in America, but less so in the UK where he is much more lauded by the press than by the people. Read more

Bruce at his absolute best
In retrospect, "Tom Joad" seems like an aberation in the Springsteen back catalogue between "Tunnel of Love" and 2007 (just prior to the release of "Magic"). Read more
