The Very Best Of .38 Special - Really! - If you get one disc of .38 Special s hits this is the one to get! It has all you could want of them (well maybe die-hards would want more), but the casual to moderate fan will be very happy with this compilation. All of the great hits and more! Great sound, too. I definitely recommend this to anyone that loves classic rock and/or .38 Special.
Classic Rock for any age - I am getting a lot of enjoyment out of this CD! Buy one, you won t regret it!
If You Like What You Hear on the Radio, Buy This. - I m really just a radio fan of 38 Special. But I decided to take a chance with this best of collection. And I came out golden on this one. Every single song is at least as good as the handful that you hear on the radio now. Personally, I tend to go for the harder bands. So I m often having to enjoy my music in a semi-voluntary semi-solitude while pretty much everyone else plugs their ears and runs away. But this is catchy, very nice, and lively while somewhat softer rock and roll, with a more general appeal--something that the whole family can kind of enjoy together. I would probably compare 38 Special to the Eagles, for beat, intensity and overall listenability. So far it has a 5-star average rating, and I wouldn t mess with that.
