Formed in 1974, 38 Special toured tirelessly from the start, sharpening the explosive live show that’s been their calling card for a half-century. Along the way, the Florida natives fine-tuned their sound too: a blend of muscle and melody, filled with the arena-rock pop hooks that would soon become staples of FM radio. Years passed … trends changed … some band members retired from the rigors … but 38 Special remained, hitting the road year after year, flying the flag for an enduring form of classic rock & roll that never dies.

As the band enters its sixth decade together, the music continues with Milestone. It’s the band’s first studio album in more than 20 years, and it showcases a group of road warriors with plenty of miles left in the tank. Fueled up on snarling guitars, anthemic melodies, and the desire to break new ground, they update their sound for the 2020s, bridging the gap between past and present without forgetting their rock & roll roots.

“After all this time, we wanted to create a more modern 38 Special album,” says frontman and co-founder Don Barnes. “This is a fresh, updated approach to the sound we’ve been making together for so long. Why not make a big statement after all these years? When you’re reintroducing yourself to the world, ‘good enough’ doesn’t work anymore. If you’re gonna do it, you might as well go big.”
