A new full record release is coming from Steve before the end of the year. He's been slowing getting himself ready to do so by writing, recording, singing on other people's albums (background vox), singing live (yes he can still sing - still has "it"), has been telling people in interviews he has material and has been recording. Taken a long time? Yes... but it's coming.
I actually expect he will just release it with absolutely not warning but with good promotion... and I expect it will be spectacular!!!
