Little Steven
"Freedom, No Compromise"

Released in 1987

Little Steven (Steven Van Zandt) is an artist who grew up in New Jersey. Best known for being part of the E Street Band, Little Steven has released several solo albums and wrote songs for acts like Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes and Darlene Love. Many of his songs grew more and more political. This album continued in that vein.

Years later he began a second career as an actor, landing roles in the popular tv shows The Sopranos and Lilyhammer.
