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

By	Zane (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews

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 A MUST HAVE for 38 Special fans! Excellent Southern Rock!, June 13, 1998

By	crawford@nvinet.com; Pam (Tonasket, Washington) - See all my reviews

This music will make you feel like smiling. It brings back a wealth of memories of our high school and early college days, and all the fun and craziness that went with it.

No collection will be complete with out it!

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

By A Customer

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.
