Little Steven Feels New Springsteen Tunes On The Way

While he's filming the final episodes of 'The Sopranos,' don't think Little Steven Van Zandt is tapping his well dry. The rocker hosts his own Sirius radio show -- 'Little Steven's Underground Garage' -- and is turning music mogul with his own Wicked Cool Records. And, of course, there's that gig he has in a little band called the E Street, of which he says he's waiting on a call from Bruce Springsteen at any moment.

"We gotta make a record, which could happen soon," he tells Spinner. "I don't have any reason to say this other than my own instinct, but I just get a vibe it's going to be sooner than later it. Once that's done, we're very fast. [Bruce] literally could call me today, we could have a new album out and be on the road within three months. We tend to get better as we get older -- maybe not better looking but better with the craft."

Meanwhile, Van Zandt is focused on expanding his own Wicked Cool Records, which launched officially in December of last year. "It's going to be pretty much the same thing we play in the radio show and have in the radio format," Van Zandt tells Spinner of the type of bands that Wicked Cool -- which scored a distribution deal with RED -- will be releasing. "We're going to keep an identity by staying with garage rock which is essentially traditional rock 'n' roll."

Among the early signees are the Chesterfield Kings, the Charms and the Cocktail Slippers. "When you see something on Wicked Cool, you're going to know it's rock 'n' roll, number one," he says. "Not indie rock, not heavy metal, not pop, not hip-hop. Number two, it's going to be very high quality 'cause we're not going to put out records with a bunch of filler. It's going to be old school in the sense of 10, 12 really good songs."

Bruce Springsteen's legendary E-Street Band are starting to get itchy feet, as guitarist Steve Van Zandt revealed recently.

He told NME, "We gotta make a record, which could happen soon," he said. "I don't have any reason to say this other than my own instinct but I just get a vibe it's going to be sooner than later.

"[The Boss] literally could call me today, we could have a new album out and be on the road within three months."

Springsteen has just released a live DVD with his New Orleans' styled Seeger Sessions band, which he used for his last album, a tribute to Pete Seeger.

In a nod to his previous efforts, he made a surprise appearance at his own tribute show where artists such as Badly Drawn Boy and Patti Smith were performing his songs.

A new Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band album could be in the works.

The singer and the band's last release was 2001's 'Live In New York City' album. They also collaborated on the song 'Land Of Hope And Dreams' on 2001's 'God Bless America' compilation.

Now, band guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt has told Spinner a new album could be on its way.

"We gotta make a record, which could happen soon," he said. "I don't have any reason to say this other than my own instinct but I just get a vibe it's going to be sooner than later.

"(Springsteen) literally could call me today, we could have a new album out and be on the road within three months."
