Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pivoting away from their grittier southern boogie origins, 38 Special achieved massive commercial crossover by refining their sound with slick, arena-ready pop-rock hooks. Powered by the radio staple 'Hold On Loosely', the album perfectly encapsulates the polished, highly accessible trajectory of 1980s southern rock.
