Ride The Storm is the Barnes solo album Tim references...Face The Storm is the best track on the 87 Myles Goodwyn solo album..A&M inexplicably chose Little Sheba + Rock N Roll Strategy as singles.38 should've dropped them,not vice versa.2 of their worst songs,and that's out of 120 !! Off course the label redeemed itself with 2nd Chance,,,Midnight Magic and Coming Down Tonight should've been the other tracks peddled to radio and MTV though.

Yep starting with Ides Of March ("Vehicle" hit it big) all the way back in '64 (he was 14)! Survivor of course is an all time classic AOR band. Others that cashed in on his songwriting: Cheap Trick, The Doobies, Sammy Hagar, Beach Boys...Was also in the very good Henry Paul Band - Grey Ghost is a great record - as well as in the late 60's/mid 70's jazz-rock band Chase (Ennea & Pure Music are really good albums, good examples of that period's strong horn rock a la early BS&T)

The top element in 38 was Don Barnes voice,now idk what happened to his voice during his time away from the band 1988-95? I believe,but he never sounded like himself when he returned to the band...As far as I know,he wasn't a huge alcohol or drug indulger by RnR standards anyway,so it's a mystery.The last great 38 song where he has "that voice" was Same Old Feeling,a new track on the 1987 Flashback compilation.

​@@ericrobertson2024 "Long Time Gone" (from the debut) is OK but not my fave track from that album ("Play A Simple Song", "Just Hang On", "I Just Wanna Rock & Roll"). Really dislike "Second Chance" (it's not!), a good example of what I dislike about this band. WAY too pop with no memorable hooks - doesn't even sound like an SR track. Lame video too...Kinda fitting that it's included on their last 80's album (Rock & Roll Strategy - 1988) because again for me the band nosedives (except for Resolution) after this... I don't have an issue with 4 of their first 5 albums (no Special Delivery for me) - starting with Strength In Numbers (should've been better - strong on paper with Porcaro plus Jim Vallance = Bryan Adams/BTO/Prism on board) the quality declines pretty rapidly though. To your point Barnes hit the road after that one... Not a big Blackfoot fan (I like their couple of hits plus a few deep tracks off No Reservations - that's about it) personally, Hatchet had a few more good tunes (especially from their '78 s/t album). ZZ Top is in a different category (to me) - in fact I have 'em categorized as just 'plain' rock. Obviously they're from the South & feature some SR-type vibes, but more of a blues/Southern boogie band than those others. Guess it depends on how (Hold On) Loosely (see what I did there?) you define SR... TBH there are a number of 70's SR bands (besides the 'Big 5' & their offshoots) that I find more interesting than 38 Special. Hydra's a great one, Barefoot Jerry, Beaverteeth, Grinderswitch, Mose Jones, Point Blank, Raisin Kane (a shame they only put out one album = It's About Time in '78), Tennessee River Crooks (STRONG '76 s/t). Over on SoT Pete did a 70's Southern Rock series a while back that made me take a closer look. Some lesser-known 70's SR bands that to me deserve attention: Afton/First Days Of Summer - 1977, excellent vocals, kinda like CDB (but 'smoother') Crossroads/Southern Strutter - 1979 with ties to The Grass Roots/Arthur Lee, solid guitars The Eddie Boy Band - s/t from '75. Just got this - REALLY solid! John T. Leach Band/Good Life - 1976 (jazzy), maybe a more jazz/SR version of the J Teal Band Les Dudek - some great solo albums from 1974-78 Missouri Dirt/It's For You - 1977 Ned - s/t from '73. With Tommy Talton (Cowboy) Randle Chowning Band/Heart On Fire - 1978. Ozark Mountain Daredevils founder Rich Mountain Tower - s/t from '71 Roadmap/Roll It Tight - from 1978, not sure how this wasn't bigger (funky) Southern Comfort/Frog City - 1971. Ties to the great Matthews’ Southern Comfort & Harsh Reality (late 60's psyche) Thunderhead/Thunderhead '75 Tree Fox/Rough Road - 1979, this was it from them Two Guns/Balls Out - tremendous from '79, another one-and-done band. Smokin' guitars! The Winters Brothers Band/Coast To Coast - 1979, ties to the Allman Joys. Charlie Daniels & Toy Caldwell guest 6680 Lexington's s/t from 1971 is another great record (ties to Richie Furay, Wackers & the 60's band Big Foot)...Man I love good 70's Southern Rock!

Not huge on 38 Special personally but I do like some of their stuff. Not one of the "big 5" SR bands (that's Skynyrd/Outlaws/Allmans/ARS/Tucker), they're in that 2nd echelon (for me). Made myself a couple of SR playlists a while back, the first being the 'Southern Rock/Big 5' (plus their 'family tree') = 600+ tracks. And another called 'Southern Rock/Best Of The Rest' = about 250 tracks. That's where this band landed. And TBH they're not the best of those bands, you've got really good bands like: Barefoot Jerry, CDB, Doc Holliday, George Hatcher Band, Grinderswitch, Hydra, Mose Jones, Point Blank, Tennessee River Crooks & Two Guns. I think their debut, Rockin' Into The Night & Resolution (a surprise offering from '97) are their best - I'm sure many will nominate Wild-Eyed Southern Boys (some good tracks - "Honky Tonk Dancer", "Fantasy Girl"). Live At Rockpalast (1981) is pretty good. I basically cherry-picked 1-3 tracks per album from the debut through Strength In Numbers, about 20 tracks in all (including live versions). I think with the exception of Resolution there wasn't much to get excited about post 80's. To me a lot of that later songwriting just kinda blends into the landscape... Overall I think my 'issue' with the band is that often they're not "Southern enough" if you know what I mean, It's like most/all of the rough edges were sanded off. Now I do like some of their FM hits but then again I like melodic rock, so if going that far astray of the (hard core) SR thing then go all the way into AOR territory & give me those great radio hooks. And that can work. If they'd stuck closer to numbers like "Robin Hood", "Breakin' Loose" & "Play A Simple Song" (very pretty) that might've served them better. I get it, they wanted/needed to set themselves apart from Skynyrd & Ronnie...Maybe they needed that 3rd lead guitar...🤷‍♂BTW RIP Dickey Betts😢

When it comes to Southern bands of that era, I tend to enjoy them all but I'd say that 38 Special would be in second place for me, a hair's breadth behind The Outlaws. They'd both be in my all-time top ten rock bands list though.
