Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul
Little Steven Van Zandt's 1982 debut with The Disciples of Soul, Men Without Women, remains a high watermark in the Jersey shore bar band sound with its fusion of classic rock and soul sounds. Van Zandt was joined by members of The E Street Band, The Asbury Jukes, and The Miami Horns as well as pals like The Rascals' Dino Danelli and Felix Cavaliere, and Gary U.S. Bonds. This CD release premieres Bob Ludwig's remaster (previously available only on vinyl) on CD and adds a bonus DVD of Little Steven's 1982 Rockpalast concert. The edition that's currently streaming has a number of bonus tracks only available on CD as part of Little Steven's Rock 'n Roll Rebel box set.
