Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN 3:50 JOAD

Note: Springsteen was inspired to write "Youngstown" after he read Journey to Nowhere: The Saga of the New Underclass, Dale Maharidge's book about the struggling working-class and the decline of industry. Recorded on June 16, 1995 at Thrill Hill West, Bruce's Beverly Hills home studio. Springsteen handles guitar and vocals and his five-man backing band on this recording is Chuck Plotkin (keyboards), Jim Hanson (bass), Marty Rifkin (pedal steel), Gary Mallaber (drums), and Soozie Tyrell (violin). Reimagined as a searing rocker for 1999's Reunion Tour.
