Editorial Review:
2003 remastered reissue of the southern rock band's 1977 debut album, originally released on A&M Records, features 9 tracks. Although it made little impact outside the southern states at the time of its release, now it can be said that their debut has never been bettered for its mix of straight-ahead boogie & country-fried melodic rock. Features the writing team of Barnes, Carlisi & Van Zant. Lemon.

Rating: - Awsome Debut
If you are a fan of early Skynyrd (Lead Singer Donnie's Brother)then you will love this. 38 special has a raw sound that can't be beat.
Rating: - .38 Special's Debut Is Tied For Their Best
.38 Special's debut is tied with ROCKIN' INTO THE NIGHT, WILD-EYED SOUTHERN BOYS, and SPECIAL FORCES as the band's best album ever. On this album, the group sounds like a cross between the Allman Brothers Band circa BROTHERS AND SISTERS and the music on the Outlaws' GREATEST HITS CD/cassette, pointing the way to the band's future fusion of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Outlaws. The best songs here are "Long Time Gone", "Gypsy Belle", "Four Wheels", "Tell Everybody", and "I Just Wanna Rock And Roll." If ... Read More
Rating: - A Southern Rock Classic Re-Issued And Remastered.
Why A&M Records here in the good old U.S. (well it ain't nearly as good as it used to be) can't get off their butts and re-issue this cd is beyond me (it was available on cd in the late eighties for a short time - then deleted). I remember buying this album back in 1977 after a friend told me it sounded alot like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Well, being a big Skynyrd fan I bought it and low and behold no wonder it sounds like Skynyrd, Donnie Van Zant (Skynyrd singer Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother) is doing ... Read More
Rating:  - Southern Rock Vibration
Most of the 80s fans remember 38 Special as providing crispy pop rock sounding in the similar vein of Survivor, Foreigner, and REO Speedwagon. Their debut in 1977, however, is hugely different from 38 Special we are aware of. 38 Special was originally sort of Lynard Skynard offshoot. It started from tragic disintegration of 70s legendary band LYNARD SKYANRD.
Donnie Van Zant made a resolution to keep the sound of the band his brother lead. On the whole the album has similar style of SECOND ... Read More
Rating: - All Time Under Rated Album
This is one of those hidden gems you might have missed. 38 Special wasn't popular yet when this came out but it is definitely some of their best work. It is pure Southern Rock and if that is your thing, I promise you'll love it. Every track is great. My personal favorite is 'Simple Song' which pretty much sums up what Southern Rock is all about. Enjoy!
