Flirtin' With Disaster: Live

Performer: Molly Hatchet
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: Molly Hatchet: Dave Hlubek (guitars); Bobby Ingram (acoustic guitar); Phil McCormack (harmonica); John Galvin (grand piano); Shawn Beamer (drums); Tim Lindsey (background vocals). They may not have scaled the same heights as Lynyrd Skynyrd, but Molly Hatchet remain major proponents of the Southern rock sound (or perhaps more fittingly, Southern metal sound). While their studio albums have been known to pack quite a wallop, many of their fans will attest that there's nothing like experiencing Molly Hatchet on-stage, with the Marshalls cranked to the max. And their 2007 CD/DVD concert set, Flirtin' with Disaster Live, certainly proves that the group is still all about the concert experience. But don't be misled by its title -- this is not a song-for-song replication of the group's most popular studio effort, 1979's Flirtin' with Disaster (why its title is modeled after their 1979 release remains a mystery). But there certainly is a healthy helping of Hatchet classics, including such "man rock" showcases as "Whiskey Man," and of course, their best-known ditty, "Flirtin' with Disaster." Trends may come and go, but Flirtin' with Disaster Live proves once and for all why you can crown Molly Hatchet "the AC/DC of Southern rock" -- you know exactly what you're going to get musically ahead of time, and in the process, you'll get your keyster thoroughly kicked. ~ Greg Prato DVD Features: DVD tracklist: 1.

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.
