cover song of the day

The Ghost of Tom Joad is the eleventh studio album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1995. The album is mainly backed by acoustic 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.

Here is a cover version done by Rage Against The Machine

 

Here is the original as done by the Boss
