Info for Soulfire

"Little Steven a.k.a Steven Van Zandt, the longtime guitarist of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band is back with SOULFIRE, his first solo album in 17 years. SOULFIRE is Stevie Van Zandt’s first solo album in close to two decades and without question his purest and most uniquely personal artistic statement thus far.

It is comprised of 12 songs including the title track, “Saint Valentine's Day” and “Love On The Wrong Side Of Town” written by Steven and Bruce Springsteen. The album sees the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revisiting songs that span the length of his career as artist, performer, producer, arranger, and songwriter, focusing directly on the hugely influential “soul horns-meet-rock ‘n’ roll guitars” approach he first pioneered on Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes’ classic first three albums."

„I have very little interest in the modern world and I’m not in any way conflicted about that. I grew up in a renaissance period, a very lucky time when the greatest music ever made was also the most commercial. We’ll never see that again so for me, there’s only one criteria, which is greatness. That’s all I care about. Is what I’m doing reaching for greatness? Whether I achieve it or not, that is one hundred percent of my criteria.“ (Stevie Van Zandt)
