Voice of America:(1984)
One of the most soulful members of the E Street Band, I'm sure that even if you haven't heard these albums, you can imagine what Little Steven brings to his first two solo albums. You can tell that Steven and Bruce grew up listening to the same records. However, while Springsteen sometimes dances around a tough political issue, Little Steven is right there in your face. Which might be a part of why his solo albums aren't more widely regarded. All I know is, I really dig both these records. Oddly enough, I was turned onto Little Steven's solo work by the Jackson Browne cover of Steven's I Am A Patriot. Steven also has one of my favorite quotes about music in politics, it goes something like, "What's more personal than your political beliefs?"
