38 Special – Live From Texas

by Chuck Dauphin Music News Nashville

As the inner sleeve of this disc reflects, this album was recorded throughout the state of Texas in September 2009. That means that you’re going to get a very loud crowd, as Texans love their music – whether your name is Wills or Van Zant. Speaking of which!

There are no heavy handed musical sermons, as the legendary rockers are in no way shape or form trying to influence one’s political persuasion. It’s simply put, Rock and Roll, and that’s one thing 38 Special does just about as good as anyone.

Seriously, this is just a fun album to listen to. Whether they are going to town on cuts like “Back In The U.S.A,” or “Travellin’ Band,” you know that you are in for a fun ride. Each song will have you singing along at the top of your lungs, from “Wild Eyed Southern Boys” and “Rockin’ Into The Night.” Also included is “Help Somebody,” which was a huge hit with Donnie and brother Johnny in the duo Van Zant.

Live From Texas is simply put, a celebration of good music and good times. Climb aboard and enjoy!
