Bruce Springsteen: The Ghost of Tom Joad (1995)

Bruce Springsteen builds on Woody Guthrie's "The Ballad of Tom Joad" and the film adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath to create a song out of time. It was released in the boom 90s, but better fit the 1930s or post 2008 America. Rage Against the Machine recorded their own version of the song and Tom Morello still plays it live with The Nightwatchmen.
