5.0 out of 5 stars .38 before they sold out, September 8, 2000

Zane (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild-Eyed Southern Boys (Audio CD)

This CD has the classic .38 Special sound before they went top 40. Nothing fancy here---just some good old southern rock 'n roll. "Hold on Loosely" is hands down the best song they have ever recorded.

5.0 out of 5 stars .38 Special's Second Great One In A Row, September 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wild-Eyed Southern Boys (Audio CD)

WILD-EYED SOUTHERN BOYS was .38 Special's second great album in a row. The first two cuts- "Hold On Loosely" and "First Time Around", as well as "Hittin' And Runnin'"- are downright cautionary in their lyrical content; the title track is pure boogie heaven; and "Fantasy Girl" is simple Southern pop-rock. A few songs are filler, but the great ones make this album worthy of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mix of Southern and Melodic Rock, November 16, 2003

susumu-5 (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild-Eyed Southern Boys (Audio CD)

.38 Special's fourth album in 1981 excellently blends southern rock vibe with melodic hard rock. Jim Peterik known as Survivor's keyboardist and songwriter was instrumental in adding melodic hard rock vibe penning HOLD ON LOOSELY which became their first major hit and FANTASY GIRL second single which became a minor hit. Jim Peterik also co-wrote HITTIN' AND RUNNIN' and WILD EYED SOUTHERN BOYS, the title track. HOLD ON LOOSELY is one of my all time favorite songs among the excellent songs Jim have created so far including Survivor. At the latter part Lynard influenced nice southern rock can be tasted. Essential for early 80s pop rock fans.
