Secrets behind 38 Special’s hits, what band learned from Ronnie Van Zant Updated 3:13 PM; Facebook Share But 38 Special singer/guitarist Don Barnes says this isn’t one of those. On a recent afternoon, Barnes calls in from his Atlanta area home for a phoner. We get to talking about why 38 Special’s signature hits, “Hold On Loosely, “Caught Up In You” and “Rockin’ Into The Night,” just seem to pop a little extra on FM radio. In addition to being contagious and propulsive tunes, they just sound better on radio than they do on vinyl or CD. We discuss the compression commercial radio stations often use to juice their signal, a tactic somewhat well known among music fans. But pretty much all songs played on mainstream radio receive this aural facelift.
