13. Tiger Rose
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPY4nX3nWLY Tiger Rose was written and recorded during the Ghost of Tom Joad settings in 1997. The legendary Sonny Burgess covered it in true rockabilly fashion for the Bruce Springsteen tribute CD One Step Up/Two Steps Back. Springsteen and Burgess have played the song together live several times, most notably at a 9/11 benefit concert in New Jersey in 2001. Burgess and E Street bassist Gary W Tallent were instrumental in getting the track recorded for the album. Bruce Springsteen phoned the studio and left the lyrics on the answering machine. These were pre-email and texting days, after all.
