If you ABSOLUTELY must get a collection then get the Essential CD. It has about 2-3 songs from every album but please keep in mind that you're gonna
get the songs that appeal to every office worker and garbage man in the US. What really makes Bruce amazing is his deep album cuts. I'd honestly
recommend that you drop the money and just get "Darkness on the Edge of Town", "Born to Run" and "Devils and Dust" to get a good idea of what he can
do. Then if you like those get "Born in the USA" (a pop materpiece), "The Rising", "Tunnel of Love", "Greetings From Asbury Park" and "Nebraska".
If you're hellbent on getting a sampling then either The Essential or Live in NYC. Don't get the box set he did a few years ago unless you're a
converted fan. It is 4 CD's worth of songs he excluded from his records. Some of them are as good or better than songs on his albums but I wouldn't
recommend is as an introductory release.
The Ghost of Tom Joad is one of his 3 acoustic or semi-acoustic folk type albums along with "Nebraska" and "Devils and Dust". Personally I think Tom
Joad is the worst of the 3. Plus it came out in 1995 before he found his muse again.
Feel free to keep the Bruce dialog going because I could type about him until my fingers go numb.
