Summary

Description

Solidarity Forever is the definitive account of the musical journey of the music legend of Disciples of Soul, Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and anti-apartheid project Sun City fame, Little Steven Van Zandt. Following Van Zandt's unforgettable sixty-year (and counting!) career from his beginnings with the Asbury Jukes and Springsteen to leading the Disciples of Soul, from touring, arranging, and producing timeless music to playing an onscreen gangster in The Sopranos and Lilyhammer, Solidarity Forever is packed with a level of detail that will impress devotees and enchant new fans.

Every song, every album, every single, live shows; bootlegs, production credits, covers, activism-everything is covered here and presented alongside fascinating interviews of over forty past and present band members and Van Zandt himself. A stunning work of music journalism and love letter to rock 'n' roll, Solidarity Forever delivers Little Steven's story and the timeless messages of his music like never before.

"This is no time to be fighting each other
What we need, what we need is solidarity."
