Voice of Rock!.......2007-03-16
Steven over Bruce in a classic showdown. Add 1/2 a point........2004-04-23
Steven's best.......2002-12-17
AN ALL~TIME CLASSIC RECORD.......2002-03-03
Typical of all of Miami Steve's production, there's not a weak track and all his melodies are so bright and tight and sharp, but on this one, more than on his other records, his writing is just extremely powerful all the way through. Read the track titles and it's as though the songs are like a road map to help us find our ways past the needless stuff that separates us from each other.
The great advantage of the CD release is that it contains two tracks that aren't on the LP. But for people like me who prefer the sound from the turntable, the LP is one of those treasures you'll always cherish. The best thing's to get a copy of the CD and the LP.
A few years ago I produced a series of shows that broadcast over public and community radio stations in the U.S. and around the world. In the show we used four of Steven's songs from this record. The response was phenomenal as we got over a thousand phone calls and more than 700 letters from listeners.
One day some bigshot Clive Davis~type music company executive will have the brains to get this record re-issued. With the right promotion and marketing this record should sell millions of copies.
You may have heard Jackson Browne's excellent cover of I AM A PATRIOT. Wait `til you hear Steven's original version. His voice in his production'll knock you out. I guarantee it. So do yourself a favor and get VOICE OF AMERICA. It's great sound from a great artist. Hell, I'd give it ten stars if Amazon would let me.
It's a knock~out record.
Steven's best work, an all~time classic.......2002-03-03
All Steven's work is good, but on this record he crosses over the fine line into the sublime. Every track is strong, and the titles are practically like road map directions on how to find our way past all the needless ... in life that keeps our people apart from each other:
Voice of America
Justice
Checkpoint Charlie
Solidarity
Out of the Darkness
Los Desaparecidos
Fear
I am a Patriot
Among the Believers
Undefeated
It's a perfect wedding of melodies and words, as I say, one of the most inspired records I ever heard; there's not a weak track on this record.
I produced a series of shows that broadcast on public and community stations in the U.S. and around the world, and Steven let me incorporate seven of these tracks on the series. The response was incredible as we received over a thousand phone calls and more than 700 letters from listeners.
One last thing: Some of you may have heard Jackson Browne's excellent cover of Steven's song, orginally produced on this record, called "I am a Patriot." Wait 'til you hear Steven's version. It'll knock you out.
