Don Barnes of 38 Special | Interview
Wednesday, 26 August, 2026
On this episode of the Songfacts Podcast, host Stephanie R. Myers speaks with Don Barnes, founding member, guitarist, songwriter, and longtime voice of 38 Special, as the band celebrates 50 years and the release of Milestone, their first new studio album in more than two decades. We dig into the stories behind some of the songs that helped define 38 Special, including “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up in You,” and how the band found its signature balance of Southern rock muscle and undeniable melody. Don also talks about making Milestone, what it means to still be creating new music five decades in, and the chemistry and songwriting instincts that have kept 38 Special moving forward. Along the way, he reflects on the band's remarkable longevity, the songs he wishes he'd written, and what he's learned from a lifetime of making music that's built to last.
