38 Special
38
Special has the well deserved reputation of being one of the hardest working
bands in the USA is still playing more than 100 shows per year. And at every one
of them, thousands of audience members are completely blindsided by the power
and muscle of the band's performance. "When we come out, people are like, 'Whoa!
It's like a freight train rolling over them..." says vocalist/guitarist Don
Barnes.
While most associate the group with its
arena-rock '80s pop smashes, these days the band's harder edge is what is
immediately noticeable. Barnes says it's all about maintaining the intensity
that they deliver in their live shows. So when the group went in to record
Drivetrain (July 27, Sanctuary Records), its first full studio album in years,
it sought to capture that live energy on disc. And as a result, 38 Special, over
twenty-five years later, has never sounded so powerful and 'in your face.'
Having had its share of success in the pop realm - selling some 15 million
albums - the group sought to make this album all about attitude. It sounds rude,
Barnes says, and it was meant to. |

Billy
Currington
Although success has carried country singer/songwriter
Billy Currington far away from his beloved hometown of Rincon, Georgia,
he remains the same simple man who was indelibly shaped by his
upbringing in this small Southern town with a population of 4,376.
Currington burst onto the music scene in 2003 with his eponymous debut
CD, which contained the powerful Top 10 hit “Walk a Little Straighter”
and the fun Top 5 smash “I Got a Feelin’,” which was accompanied by the
memorable video co-starring Baywatch beauty Gena Lee Nolin.
When superstar Shania Twain heard Currington’s soulful Southern voice,
she knew she had found the perfect partner for the country duet “Party
for Two,” so Currington excitedly boarded a plane for Europe to work in
the studio with Twain and legendary producer Robert “Mutt” Lange.
Currington and Twain performed the song live on the 2004 Country Music
Association Awards and a special Good Morning America show from
Nashville. |
