Love that album and I think it remains his most consistent release.
The follow-up album - "Voice Of America" was this garage-band sound with a bunch of songs that criticized Ronald Reagan's polices towards Central America. I loved it at the time, although I don't think it's aged well. But it did include "Out Of The Darkness," which is just a smoking track.
He's written/produced a number of great projects. My personal favorites are probably "Sun City," the two Gary U.S. Bonds comeback albums (which include some of the best songs Springsteen never released) and the one-off Ronnie Spector single of "Say Goodbye To Hollywood"/"Please Don't Go." The latter was written by Little Steven and the single included the entire E-Street band.
One last thing. I saw Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul on a double bill with the Greg Kihn Band. Which was a great time, even though there were a lot of empty seats.
Totally agree that it is his most consistent release. And what a great band! I also agree that "Out of the Darkness" is a stone cold banger of a tune, but the rest of the album... not as much. His production of the Arc Angels album is damn near flawless. Greg Kihn and Little Steven sounds like a great double bill to be sure.
