38 Special
This American rock band formed in the mid 70’s and by the early 1980s, 38 Special began amalgamating southern rock and arena rock in their music, thereby kicking off a string of successful albums and singles.
Their first high-charting song was “Hold On Loosely” (1981); “Caught Up In You” (1982) and “If I’d Been The One” (1983) both hit #1 on Billboard magazine’s Album Rock Tracks chart. “Back Where You Belong” (1984) continued the annual sequence of radio favorites, and “Second Chance” (1989), a #1 hit on Billboard’s adult contemporary chart, was sung by former Specialist Max Carl.
In 2007, 38 Special was the opening act on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr.’s Rowdy Frynds Tour, and on September 27, 2008, they filmed a CMT Crossroads special with country singer Trace Adkins, performing both artists’ hits from over the years. In 2009, 38 Special opened for REO Speedwagon and Styx as part of the “Can’t Stop Rockin’ Tour.”

Willie Stradlin
Contrary to popular belief Red Dirt and Texas Music is alive and well in Arkansas and we have the band to prove it. They have a strong conviction that Red Dirt is not a genre of music, but an attitude. If you will, a passing of the torch, from the days of Woody Guthrie to the Outlaw days of the 70s with Willie and Waylon and into the 80s and 90s with Bob Childers, Randy Crouch, Red Dirt Rangers to present with Stoney LaRue, Hosty Duo, No Justice and Jason Boland.
The band has been featured in regional, national, and overseas charts and 2010 marks the launch of their third hit single “Sweet Melissa” and a second album to be released soon.
