38 Special
A nostalgic, mainstream southern rock act.
Tracks10
50 years together. 20 million records sold. More than 15 albums of guitar-driven southern rock stacked high with hits like "Hold On Loosely," "Caught Up In You," "If I'd Been the One," "Back Where You Belong," and "Second Chance." 38 Special is proof that there's strength in numbers. The new album 'Milestone' marks 38 Special's first studio record in more than 20 years, and it showcases the group's platinum-selling blend of muscle and melody, snarling guitars, anthemic hooks, and the desire to break new ground. There are co-writes with Jim Peterik (Survivor) and Randy Bachman (Bachman–Turner Overdrive, The Guess Who), duets with vocalist Pat Monahan (Train), and performances from a group of resilient road warriors who still play 100 shows annually. Written between tour dates and recorded during a series of live-in-the-studio performances, 'Milestone' is a snapshot of a band in motion, flying the flag for an enduring form of classic rock & roll that never dies.
