Molly Hatchet's second album with gravel-throated vocalist Jimmy Farrar (who replaced original singer Danny Joe Brown), TAKE NO PRISONERS is a sturdy slice of the slightly funky Southern hard rock that made the band famous. Highlights include "Respect Me In the Morning," which is reminiscent of Ted Nugent's classic "Just What The Doctor Ordered," and a version of Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally" that is delivered slowed down in heavy, Cactus-like fashion.

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.
