Siempre ha sido un grupo poco valorado por varios motivos. Era un cruce entre la música comercial americana o AOR ( por algun post expliqué lo que era) y por que era la herencia de los Lynyrd Skynyrd, donde tocaba el hermano malo del Van Zant.
La verdad es que el tiempo ha demostrado que quizás si eran comerciales pero para nada malos. Dejo un copy and paste dela wiki en ingles.
38 Special is an American rock band that was formed by neighborhood friends Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant in 1975 in Jacksonville, Florida.[1] The band’s first two albums had a strong southern rock influence. By the early 1980s, 38 Special shifted to a more accessible arena rock style without abandoning its southern rock roots. This shift helped to usher in a string of successful albums and singles.
Their breakthrough hit was “Hold On Loosely” (1981). “Caught Up in You” (1982) and “If I’d Been the One” (1983) both hit #1 on Billboardmagazine‘s Album Rock Tracks chart. “Back Where You Belong” (1984) continued the annual sequence of radio favorites, and “Second Chance” (1989) was a #1 hit on Billboard’s adult contemporary chart.
In 2007, 38 Special was the opening act on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr.‘s Rowdy Frynds Tour, and on September 27, 2008, they filmed a CMT Crossroads special with country singer Trace Adkins, performing both artists’ hits from over the years. In 2009, 38 Special opened for REO Speedwagon and Styx as part of the “Can’t Stop Rockin’ Tour.”
The current[when?] lineup consists of Barnes, Van Zant, guitarist Danny Chauncey, bassist Larry Junstrom, keyboardist Bobby Capps and drummer Gary Moffatt.
