5.0 out of 5 stars .38 Special's Best Ever, September 22, 2002

By A Customer

SPECIAL FORCES is .38 Special's best album ever. The opener, "Caught Up In You", is a bit overplayed, but the rest is full of undiscovered gems. "Back Door Stranger" is a pro-law-and-order call to arms; "Back On The Track" provides an outlaw anthem for the ages; "Chain Lightning" flogs the Outlaws' jamming style to a Zeppelin-influenced epic; "Rough Housin'" and "Take 'Em Out" bring pure boogie heaven; "You Keep Runnin' Away" is Outlaws-influenced country-rock; and "Breakin' Loose" is both inspirational and cautionary- at the same time! Overall, it behooves any fan of 70s and 80s rock to check this one out as soon as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you like 38 you will like this cd., February 9, 1999

By A Customer

this album has a lot of good music on it. the point is it has three truly great songs. the best one is "caught up in you" arguably the best song they have ever made. then there is the bone chilling and super cool "chain lightning" and finally "you keep runnin'", this song is a mellow foot tapper. so if you like .38 SPECIAL you WILL like this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Southern Rough Boys, August 28, 2004

By	susumu-5 (Japan) - See all my reviews

"Wild Eyed Southern Boys'" 1982 stuff is another of great album that shows their glorious days. CAUGHT UP IN YOU from this album became their first top 10 hit. This album is quite tight with hard rock edge as shown in CHAIN-LIGHTNING. Jim Peterik of Survivor adds dynamism in their smartly written tracks. Together with the two excellent tracks mentioned above, YOU KEEP RUNNING AWAY is also stellar track showing their mellow side that eventually become their trademark sound. Recommended for early 80s rock fans.
