 (1 Customer Review)
By its third album, .38 Special discovered how to fuse fun-lovin' Southern rock with a formula that would bring the band commercial attention. Even though the album failed to put a single into the Top 40, the songs gather more steam than the group's previous attempts and begin to show the talents of individual members, turning some of the attention away from the novelty of sporting two drummers. "Rockin' Into the Night" is a clean-shaven, built-for-radio tune, boosted by Don Barnes and Jeff Carlisi's indiscrete guitar work, while "Stone Cold Believer" rocks a little harder with its gear-shifting guitar riff. But the evidence that .38 Special was progressing extends beyond the first two cuts. Tracks such as "Take Me Through the Night," "The Love That I've Lost," and "Turn It On" are sturdy, middle-of-the-road rockers, and they proved that Van Zant was indeed capable of giving the band's material enough vocal gusto to eventually break through. Rockin' Into the Night cracked the Top 60 on the album charts, and by the next year .38 Special had its first big hit with "Hang on Loosely" from 1981's Wild Eyed Southern Boys. ~ Mike DeGagne Rockin' Into The Night Music 38 Special Rockin' Into The Night Songs Rockin' Into The Night Music Review Purchase Rockin' Into The Night CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Blackfoot Flyin' High CD (1976)
Rockin' Into The Night album
 $10.49   
Blackfoot's 1975 debut, No Reservations (named in reference to their Native American bloodlines), had been a critical and commercial bust for their indifferent label, Island Records, so after being cut loose from their contract, the resourceful Southern rock group immediately hooked up with the more rock-friendly Epic Records, for the release of their second long-player, Flyin' High, the very next year. The bottom line was that Blackfoot were also still seeking their songwriting groove on their way to establishing the heavier style of Southern rock that would eventually distinguish them from Skynyrd and all of their clones. And yet a handful of these tracks -- "Save Your Time," "Island of Life," the title cut -- pass muster by Blackfoot's future high standards, and in retrospect, there's no telling what proper promotional support could have done for Flyin' High (after all, Blackfoot on a bad day still beat hell out of the competition). But the album was roundly ignored by consumers, saw the group dropped ...

Rockin' Into The Night CD music
$4.99  
Building on the bandmembers' own personal accomplishments that came from the Rockin' Into the Night album, .38 Special released an even stronger bunch of songs a year later with Wild-Eyed Southern Boys. Focusing on the same Southern-based rock & roll formula, the efforts from Southern Boys contain a little more guitar zing while complementing the band's ability to produce marketable radio music. "Hold on Loosely," with its smooth vocal stride, managed to peak at number 27 in April of 1981, giving .38 Special its first Top 40 single, and the title track, "Honky Tonk Dancer," and "Back Alley Sally" keep a homespun flavor alive and well, indicating that the band's Southern ...
| | 38 Special Tour De Force CD (1984)
Rockin' Into The Night music CDs
$5.05 
.38 Special is a prime example of an AOR band with deep roots in Southern rock. The band hails from Florida, and vocalist Donnie Van Zant is the brother of none other than Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ronnie and Johnny Van Zant. The group's 1982 album, Special Forces, included the flawless Top Ten rocker "Caught Up in You," which injected the mainstream with a shot of much-needed grit. That album's follow-up, 1983's Tour De Force, upped the ante, showing the band's skills at their peak. Propelled by the effortless blend of melody and power stirred up by Van Zant, vocalist/guitarist Don Barnes, ...

Rockin' Into The Night songs

The recruitment of Jim Vallance behind the drums and bass player Mike Porcaro didn't bring .38 Special the kind of help the band was looking for with 1986's Strength in Numbers. Following a string of convincing albums (Wild-Eyed Southern Boys, Special Forces, Tour de Force) during the early '80s, the ...

Although Blackfoot's 1980 release, TOMCATTIN', was another solid, hard-rocking release, it failed to connect with record buyers in the same way as the band's surprise hit from a year before, ...

Rockin' Into The Night CD music
$6.75
Live tracks recorded in Jacksonville, Florida in 1980. Includes liner notes by Martin Popoff.
Digitally remastered by Darcy Proper (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
By the time Flirtin' with Disaster reached stores, the Hatchet were already bona fide forces to be reckoned with on the Southern rock circuit, with a fan base nearly on par with contemporaries like Skynyrd and the Allmans (who they covered on their eponymous debut LP). With a Frank Frazetta album cover that clearly sent a message that the band means ...

Rockin' Into The Night music CDs
$10.65
Shared with fellow D.C. hardcore types Void, the Split LP (aka Faith/Void) shows both bands putting out quick, fiery, and righteous (perhaps at times self-righteous) high-speed punk. Some have argued that the recordings here created '80s thrash metal, at least in terms of selected tempos -- on that level alone, it's hard to disagree. Faith's side shows the quartet tearing through expected subjects and musical matters with an energy that elevates it above more run-of-the-mill acts. Alec MacKaye doesn't ...
