Rockin' into the Night

Rockin' into the Night is the third studio album by the southern rock band 38 Special, released in 1980. Its cover strongly resembles the album cover of Pretty Boy Floyd's Bullets & Lipstik LP.

With this album, .38 Special incorporates some arena rock elements into its sound. The title track became the band's first big hit, and it continues to receive classic rock airplay to this day.
