Molly Hatchet Music

Artist Overview
At the tail end of the 1970s, when Southern rock's popularity seemed to be waning, a new generation of Dixie outlaws appeared, and Molly Hatchet led the charge. The hard-rocking Southern boogie band released its first album in 1978, but it was the '79 follow-up, FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER, that made the band a major name. Shortly thereafter, singer Danny Joe Brown quit the group, and was replaced for a couple of albums by Jimmy Farrar before finally returning for 1983's NO GUTS...NO GLORY. Though Brown and guitarist Duane Roland died in the mid-2000s, the band never stopped performing.
