- Voice Of America è un album in studio di Little Steven, pubblicato nel 1984. Lo stile musicale ricalca quello del precedente lavoro, Men Without Women, ma mentre nel disco di esordio pervadeva in maniera piuttosto marcata l'influenza stilistica di Bruce Springsteen (di cui per anni Little Steven è stato chitarrista, membro della E-Street Band), il presente album si arricchisce di un sound più personale, presente anche nelle opere future. Sono una prova di questo "Out Of Darkness" (singolo di cui MTV trasmise in rotazione anche il videoclip), "Checkpoint Charlie", "Los Desaparecidos" e la traccia in odore reggae "I'm a Patriot", ripresa successivamente da diversi artisti tra cui Bon Jovi e Jackson Browne; sul fronte dei testi, in linea generale tutto il disco è un duro attacco alla politica dell'allora presidente degli USA Ronald Reagan.

- Voice of America is the second solo studio album by Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul released on May 7, 1984, four weeks before Bruce Springsteen released Born in the U.S.A. This album traded in the horns and the R&B influences of the previous Men Without Women for a raw, garage rock sound. Politics came to the lyrical forefront, with the general theme being opposition to the Reagan Era's American foreign policy. "Out of the Darkness", a synthesizer-led anthem with sweeping arena rock and hair metal atmosphere, garnered some airplay, as well as music video play on MTV, and was effective in concert, while the somewhat softer and evocative "Checkpoint Charlie" also received considerable radio airplay. "Los Desaparecidos" gained praise as an effective protest song on behalf of the 1970s and 1980s victims of state-sponsored forced disappearance in South America. On other songs, the political viewpointing became more strident and was criticized as somewhat artless. "I Am a Patriot", which held roughly that dissent was not disloyalty, became a favorite song of Jackson Browne, who covered it on his 1989 album World in Motion, and who frequently performed it in his concerts. In 2004, the two would duet on the song during the last of the Vote for Change shows. Pearl Jam has covered the song as well. In 2019, the album was remastered for release as part of Van Zandt's career-spanning box set Rock N Roll Rebel: The Early Work. The digital deluxe edition of the album was released on October 25, 2019, containing 10 bonus tracks, including the studio outtake "Rock N Roll Rebel", which was written following Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen's 1983 removal from Disneyland due to their clothing being deemed inappropriate. The digital deluxe edition also includes the reissued Vote! bonus EP. (en)
