Stevie Van Zandt, the E Street Band guitarist known as Little Steven, has announced he will release a new solo album, Soulfire, on May 19. The record marks the first new solo release from Van Zandt in almost two decades.

Soulfire will be comprised of songs from different points in the guitarist’s career, newly revisited and re-recorded. “I’ve always been very thematic with my work, very conceptual,” Van Zandt says in a press release. “I need a big picture, I can’t just do a collection of songs, that doesn’t work for me. In this case, the concept became me. Who am I? I’m kind of my own genre at this point. So I tried to pick material that when you added it all up, really represented me. So there are a couple of covers, a couple of new songs, and some of what I feel are the best songs I’ve written and co-written over the years. This record is me doing me.”
