Our Take

Album Review: 38 SPECIAL - Wild Eyed Southern Boys

38 SPECIAL's Wild Eyed Southern Boys is like a deliciously cheesy portion of southern-fried rock, served up with a side of sass and a sprinkling of 80s nostalgia. This album is a rollercoaster ride of good ol' boys and wild-eyed girls, all set against a backdrop of twangy guitars and country-infused melodies.

From the foot-stomping opener "Hold On Loosely" to the soulful ballad "Fantasy Girl," this album showcases the band's versatility and knack for crafting catchy, hook-laden tunes. Lead vocalist Don Barnes' voice is as smooth as Tennessee whiskey, effortlessly gliding over the band's tight-knit instrumentation.

Tracks like "Chain Lightning" and "Back Alley Sally" are pure adrenaline-fuelled anthems, perfect for blasting out of your car stereo while cruising down the highway. Meanwhile, "Stone Cold Believer" and "First Time Around" showcase the band's softer side, with heartfelt lyrics and soaring choruses that will have you reaching for your air guitar.

Wild Eyed Southern Boys may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a damn good time from start to finish. Whether you're a southern rock aficionado or just looking for some feel-good tunes to soundtrack your summer, this album has got you covered. So grab a cold beer, kick back, and let 38 SPECIAL transport you to a world where the sun is hot, the beer is cold, and the music is mighty fine. Cheers!
