Product Description
From Amazon.com
This band of "Wild Eyed Southern Boys" (to quote one of their album titles) was led by Skynyrd lead singer Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother, Donnie. They released their first album in 1977, the year the elder Van Zant died in a plane crash, and while their early work centered on swaggering boogie-rocker Van Zant trying to carry his fallen brother's torch, it was co-lead guitarist and chief songwriter Don Barnes who slowly emerged as the group's motivating force through such power-pop hits such as 1981's "Hang On Loosely," '82's "Caught Up in You," and '83's "If I'd Been the One"--all of which made .38 Special one of the era's more interesting hard rock bands. --Billy Altman

Rare opportunity,

This review is from: Flashback - Best of 38 Special (Audio CD)
This is a rare case of a compilation that is worthwhile and pleasant to listen.The tunes were well chosen, the tracks flow like if they belonged to the same studio album. As a band, 38 Special were really gifted songwriters.

Great example of 80's Rock & Roll,

This review is from: Flashback - Best of 38 Special (Audio CD)
You know all these songs, but may not know it was 38 special that did them. The music is pure rockin 80's radio friendly music where each song is a story of life. Double drum sets, and double lead guitars gave the music its beat and fire. How about Like No Other Night which starts - I was feelin like a prisoner inside myself, I saw you, looking like you might be in the mode to try anything that was new. This music is fun and family friendly from a completely different era than today.

Ok, but probably are better compilations.,
By Greg Stossel (Madison, ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flashback - Best of 38 Special (Audio CD)
38 special, led by donnie van Zandt brother of Ronnie and Johnny of Skynyrd, were more pop than southern rock like Skynyrd and Allman's. The comp. is ok for the price, but I'm sure there are better ones out there. Has some tracks that are live instead of in there best form.
