Southern rock legends 38 Special share the official video for their new single “So Much So Right,” featured on ‘Milestone,’ the band’s first album in 20 years. The track captures the rush of a new romance while the video gives fans a front row view of the band’s recent live shows as they enter their sixth decade together.
Frontman Don Barnes says the song reflects the emotional honesty that has defined the band’s catalog for decades. “38 Special songs have always been about the genuine emotions experienced by everyone,” Barnes explains. “They all have an element of truth in them that I think appeals on a universal level and proves why they have lasted through the years. ‘So Much So Right’ is unique. Every person remembers that heat of passion when they first met someone new and shared intimacy so strong that it could hardly be contained.”
The visual was built from backstage clips and concert footage captured by filmmaker Nick Spanos. “Nick Spanos was shooting behind-the-scenes scraps of video as well as concert footage,” Barnes adds. “He took some risks in editing, kept it gritty like the song conveys, and with the final tinted, grainy look he succeeded in portraying what real rock ’n’ roll should feel like.”
‘Milestone’ celebrates the band’s 50th anniversary and marks their first album in two decades. The record includes collaborations with Pat Monahan of Train, Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner-Overdrive and The Guess Who, and longtime collaborator Jim Peterik. The album debuted in the Top 10 of both the Rock and Independent Album charts and broke into the Top 30 of Billboard’s Current and Overall Album Sales charts.
