For those of you out there with a penchant for brooding, brink-of-self-destruction folk, I give you early Bruce Springsteen. Bleeding out of middle-America disillusionment, betrayal and murder, Nebraska will haunt you. Though it may seem silly to recommend an album 25 years old, I think you'll find it surprisingly consonant with the current works of any artist out there with an acoustic guitar and angst-ridden despair.
