Com mais de trinta anos de carreira, o 38 SPECIAL ainda está na ativa. O grupo continua lançando novos trabalhos, e estão sempre em turnê. Donnie Van Zant (vocal e guitarra) atribui isso à maneira com a qual os fãs se relacionam com sua música: "Eu acho que o que sempre mostrei às pessoas é que as canções são experiências de vida... quem as escreve ou viveu tais experiências, ou assistiu a alquém que passou por isso... não são canções vindas da mente. São canções vindas do coração".Donnie Van Zant teve grande sucesso também na música Country, com o álbum "Get Right With The Man" que ele gravou com seu irmão Johnny Van Zant, vocalista do LYNYRD SKYNYRD.

Fans looking for a smart, economical, and sharp-sounding overview of radio-friendly Southern rockers .38 Special will find much to love in the Very Best of the A&M Years (1977-1988). "Hold on Loosely," "Caught Up in You," "If I'd Been the One" and "Rockin' into the Night" are all present, as well as deeper cuts such as "Take Me Back" and "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys."
