Strength in Numbers Review

Strength in Numbers

This was also my first 38 Special CD (actually it was an album), and everytime I play it, it ends too soon. Not a bad cut on this CD. There may have been stronger individual songs on their earlier stuff, but there was a big drop off in effort after that one or two songs, where the rest of the CD was not up to the same quality. Don Barnes had a hand in writing seven of the ten cuts here, and he is usually involved in their better songs. Rarely does he write one alone, but even on Flashback (a greatest hits CD), he was involved in eight of the fourteen cuts there. Not trying to put down the others in the band, but I personally enjoy his stuff the most. The song "Like No Other Night" is my personal favorite, but from beginning to end if you are looking for 38 Special's best that is not on a Greatest Hits package, this is the one you want to start with. The only drawback to buying this one first is that you will never be as pleased with any of the others from beginning to end. I have all but their live CD, and have never regreted having any of them.

Tour De Force Review

Probably the premiere recording by these Wild Eyed Southern Boys. The first three songs If I Had Been The One, Back Where You Belong, and One Time For Old Times received a tone of well deerved airplay back in the eighties. Heck the video on If I Had Been The One featured some beautiful footage of horses galloping against a country skyline. Nonetheless, If I Had Been The One is a timeless track with beautiful guitar embellishments, passionate vocals of love lost, and stunning hooks galore.
Not to omit the other album tracks, but at the worst they are harmless and at the best they are pretty darn captivating. Twentieth Century Fox rocks with a fine southern charm and Long Distance Affair has some strong hooks on the chorus. Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zandt are both in fine form vocally.
If you want to remember some good music from the eighties, pick this record up at once. You will not be dissappointed.
