the album is mainly backed by acoustic guitar work and the lyrics on many of the tracks are a somber reflection of life in the mid-1990s in america and mexico. the character of tom joad entered the american consciousness in john steinbeck’s 1939 pulitzer prize-winning novel, "the grapes of wrath", set against the economic hardships of the great depression. this spawned a film version starring henry fonda, which in turn inspired folk singer woody guthrie to pen "the ballad of tom joad".
