Info zu Born Again Savage (Deluxe Edition - Remastered)

Little Steven, ein typischer Rocker aus der zweiten Reihe in der Tradition von Keith Richards und Johnny Thunders, hat sich verewigt -- auch unabhängig von seinem früheren Boss, "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen. Er war auch einmal unter dem Namen Miami Steve Van Zandt bekannt, hatte seine Hand im Spiel bei dem Meisterwerk von Southside Johnny's Bar-Band "Hearts of Stone", war aber auch eine Stütze bei dem Projekt Artists United Against Apartheid (1985) und leitete eine Zeit lang seine eigene Gruppe, die Disciples Of Soul", nachdem er 1984 die E Street Band verlassen hatte.

In den neunziger Jahren geriet Little Steven ziemlich ins Abseits, kehrt jetzt aber mit einer Solo-Veröffentlichung zurück, die härter daherrockt und dessen Texte energiegeladener sind als man dies von einem alten Krieger erwartet hätte. Van Zandts Titel skizzieren sein Anliegen, "sich in Ehrfurcht (zu) verbeugen vor den Rockgrößen der sechziger Jahre", die sein Bewusstsein entscheidend prägten, von Cream über die Kinks zu Jefferson Airplane. Gleichzeitig bleibt er bei seinem politischen Konfrontationskurs, der schon seit den Tagen von "Sun City" offensichtlich wurde. Daher auch sein Titelsong ("Look Around At The Volunteered Slavery"/"Seht euch die freiwillige Sklaverei um euch herum an!") und der Song "The Camouflage Of Righteousness"/"Der Deckmantel der Rechtschaffenheit" ("We give you politicians and you call it a choice / We let you do the voting and you think you have a voice"/"Wir geben euch Politiker, und ihr nennt das eine Wahl/wir lassen euch abstimmen und schon glaubt ihr, ihr habt eine Stimme"). Mit dieser wilden Attacke kämpft Little Steven für eine gute Sache und zeigt Rückgrat. (Steven Stolder)
