Overview

Men Without Women is the debut solo studio album by American musician Steven Van Zandt, credited as Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul. It was released on October 1, 1982 by EMI America. The title track was inspired by the Ernest Hemingway collection of short stories of the same name. Bruce Springsteen took part in these sessions, providing backing vocals on "Angel Eyes", "Until The Good Is Gone", and "Men Without Women". Springsteen’s contributions went uncredited, but have been confirmed in interviews by Van Zandt.
