Info:
38 Special never quite made it on their southern rock roots, despite having a lead singer name Van Zant, as in Donnie, younger brother of Lynyrd Skynyrd vocalist Ronnie.
The band regrouped and shifted away from a more traditional country rock sound and plugged in a tad more distortion and became a hard rockin’ southern delight.
After a smidgeon of success with 1980's Rockin’ into the Night, the band released Wild-Eyed Southern Boys the following year and it went Top 20, and sold Platinum. The next year Special Forces went Top 10 and sold another million plus albums making 38 Special rock stars.
Now, BGO Records has released a CD that has both classic albums on one disk. The hits are all over this sucker including from Wild-Eyed Southern Boys there is “Hold on Loosely,” the title track and “Fantasy Girl.” Special Forces continues with “Caught Up in You,” “Chain Lightinin’ and “You Keep Runnin’ Away.”
