2 remarques :

- il fait plus fort que son patron qu'on voyait 2 fois sur la pochette de High Hopes, lui c'est 5 fois.
- on dirait qu'une bonne moitié des titres sont des reprises de ses morceaux pour Southside…

Le stagiaire qui a fait la pochette de Working on a dream, a retrouvé du travail !

Je pense qu'ils le sortent de la naphtaline une fois par décennie car la pochette du "dernier" album de SVZ en 1999 était du même goût.

Il bossait deja dans les 70's le stagiaire pochettes?

C'est un stagiaire longue durée.

Entre Southside Johnny le 23 et Stevie le 28, le mois de juin aura des allures de boardwalk version Asbury Park

See you there !

Places prisent en orchestre debout.
Effectivement avec Southside la semaine précédente c'est une bonne fin de mois de juin

J'ai reçu un mail de GDP avec une accroche assez curieuse:
Yoan, vous avez aimé AC/DC, vous aimerez probablement Little Steven !

Un entretien paru dans La Republica et traduit de l'italien vers l'anglais :

- Why an album now?

I had already started working on my old solo albums, almost unavailable pretty much anywhere today, which will be re-released this year. Then I was asked to play the 2016 BluesFestival in London: it went so well that the night's setlist (old tracks, two Etta James and James Brown covers and two new songs) became the backbone to Soulfire. It was done in six weeks.

- Soulfire has a lot of horns.

Yes, I went back to my soul roots. I see Soulfire as an extension to my first album (1982 Men Without Women). We recorded it with a 5-piece horn band and three backing singers and we will tour it with a 15-piece band.

- Tracklist includes "I don’t want to go home", the first song you wrote.

I had worked on my songs for ages, but I was not happy with the outcome. British invasion had killed solo artists, only bands mattered. One night I went to Madison Square Garden to see an Oldies gig, basically fifteen r'n'r pioneers from early Fifties and early Sixties who were forced to go together on the bill to sell out the house even though each of them had been the leader of his own band: isn't that ironic? They hated doing it. I went back home with the idea to write a tune in the Leiber & Stoller style; a great songwriting duo who had written the great songs of Drifters, and even Elvis's Hound Dog : the outcome was "I don’t want to go home" in which I tried to emulate the doo-wop of Persuasions.

- Speaking of British Invasion, it is rumoured that you loved Beatles more than Rolling Stones. Is that true?

The Beatles brought the idea of band into rock music, which was unheard of before. In the 50s we had The Crickets, but Buddy Holly soon left to start his solo career and became more famous than his former band. The Beatles brought the idea of a band bound by friendship, just like a family or a community. February 9, 1964 is the most important day in my life, when they appeared at the Ed Sullivan Show. Then Rolling Stones conveyed a message of ease, they had less harmonies and less technique, more garage and more road. You would tell yourself: Beatles are difficult, but if Rolling Stones made it, then I also can.

- Songs like "I’m coming back" make you think of a Jersey Shore Sound which blends together Southside Johnny and Springsteen's E-Street Band: if that sound does exist, what does it sound like?

Jersey Shore Sound does exist and you know what? I am right at the meeting point: I was withSouthside Johnny, alongside Springsteen, and then I was and still am in the E Street Band. Jersey Shore Sound is blending soul with guitar rock. We were r'n'r's third generation, the important things had already been done in the Fifties and Sixties. We had to be at least a bit creative. Most of all, we gave dignity to the idea of "bar band", which sounded like an insult before we came along: we brought horns, the energy of guitars, and we stopped playing covers. Rolling Stone had us on the cover before we even made our first record. We had paved the road: Graham Parker, Elvis Costello, Mink Deville, Huey Lewis followed us.

- In 1982 you left the E Street Band. What's the real reason why you did that?

I left because I was stupid and that was a very stupid thing to do. I had co-produced most of Born In The USA and left the band long before the album came out in order to release my first two solo records. I was obsessed with politics, people were marching in the streets but nobody was writing about why they were. So I did it”.

- Wouldn't you do that again?

I often ask myself the same question. If I hadn't left, I wouldn't have understood politics or the world, I wouldn't have written Sun City and I wouldn't have been there when the government of South Africa fell after our protesting and this led to Mandela's liberation. However, if I think that in the very years when I was risking my life or risking jail in Soweto with some revolutionaries all my pals in the E-Street Band became filthy rich with the music I had written, then the word "stupid" resurfaces again. No record company ever wanted to let me make an album again, I had killed my own career as a recording artist. I wouldn't advise anybody to do what I did, because I wasn't rich or famous enough to be able to afford it.

- You did get a second chance as an actor though. Ever thought of a Soprano comeback?

I wrote a sequel which producer David Chase loved. Silvio Dante is based on one of my own ideas and we left him in a coma in the last episode.

- Define your relationship with Bruce Springsteen.

We've been friends for 50 years and we share the love for rock'n'roll, which was and still is my religion. I believe in rock like others believe in some god. Rock saved my life and gave me a purpose. I know that for Bruce it was the same: we were strange, alienated: after the Beatles, many created a band but we were the only ones in New Jersey who really couldn't have done anything else.

- You had a job as a worker for a couple of years.

We came form middle class but I had to work. Bruce tried everything just to be nothing but a musician for all of his life and that's why he's my hero. After all, my roots are in Calabria (i.e. a region in Southern Italy), his Neapolitan blood is more ambitious. I'm a working-class celebrity, Bruce had the kind of intelligence that only the road could give you.

Deux nouvelles dates qui peuvent en intéresser certains : Anvers le 24 juin et Zurich le 29.

Je reviens sur le cachet de SVZ. Effectivement, il va peut-être le reverser à une association. Lors du dernier passage de Bruce à Paris, certains chanceux personnes qui avaient les moyens pouvaient participer à un apéro avec Steve avant le concert pour 500 euros ou bien se faire prendre en photo et avoir un autographe pour 1000 € de mémoire. Il était précisé que les sommes étaient reversées à des associations.

Soulfire, le titre qui donne son nom à l'album, est là :
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-little-stevens-scorching-new-song-soulfire-w477867

point de vue perso : vachement mieux que le morceau de Grushecky. Dommage qu'il ne fasse plus de politique…

merci du lien
dansant, limite disco (peut on faire du politique sur du dansant? vous avez 3h...)

c'est justement ce que Steve a toujours su faire…


et tant d'autres…

m'ouais... franchement, me serait pas venu l'idée de passer sun city dans une soirée un samedi soir...
et il y a des titres pas dansants (pour moi, hein) parmi les autres proposés
en tout cas, le soulfire me semble nettement plus dansant disco pour mes guiboles

aaaah mais tu avais dit "politique et dansant".
Le dansant et le disco, c'est pas la même chose… même si le disco est dansant.

Du disco politique eeuh je vois pas trop, à part Rasputin de Boney M peut-être, avec son gimmick final "oooh those Russians", sorti en plein guerre froide, ouais… après tout c'était un groupe allemand.

Petit concert entre amis hier soir à Asbury Park

C'est solide. Je suis de plus en plus chaud pour ce concert de juin.

Tu en seras donc petit veinard

Des fois je me dis que ça doit avoir quelques avantages d'être parigot (et pas à cause du PSG)

T'as vérifié si y'a pas un petit jumping dans le coin à cette époque là
Ca pourrait augurer d'un petit "guest"

Le concert est le 28 et le jumping de la Tour Eiffel est le 30 juin.
Voilà.
