AMAZON is a great place to find old music and Molly Hatchet is great Southern Rock. I've owned this Album as a Record and a Tape and now on CD. Remeber if AMAZON doesn't have it in stock they will find a place you can buy it at in most cases. Free Music Review: Molly Hatchet Flirtin With Disaster

I had an 8-track of this album back in 1979. It was a great cruising tape in a Trans Am. Love the guitars.Free Music Review: Rock and roll's most ornery outfit delivers the goods

Those who read my other reviews may note that I haven't gotten into Southern rock. I suppose it's because number one, the Allman Brothers put me to sleep (with the exception of "Dreams") and Lynyrd Skynrd are too overplayed. I don't care if I NEVER hear "Sweet Home Alabama" again.
Southern rock has always tread on the boundary with country, which gives most of it the swing that defines it. We hear a healthy dose of blues and (usually) anthems of boozing, womanizing and basically kicking somebody's ass.
What sets the original Molly Hatchet apart from the rest is their heavy sound. Three guitars up front, triple leads, wicked slide and a boozy vocalist combine for the hardest of all Southern rock albums, "Flirting With Disaster."
Led by guitarist Dave Hlubek, this rowdy bunch swings and has a great time throughout. It's like having a good time at a bar but hoping you don't piss these guys off because they won't hesitate to mop up the floor with you, especially Duane Roland, he of the muttonchops and shades. This is a band that would intimidate the Hells Angels.
Still, it's a friendly outing. "One Man's Pleasure" bumps headlong into country territory and then obliterates it with scorching lead breaks and the wickedest slide you'll hear this side of Oz. "Jukin' City" is a nod to the Allman Brothers, and the title track reigns supreme as the best Southern rock song of all time (second place goes to "Train, Train" from Blackfoot.)
It moves quick and stays heavy enough to satisfy metalheads as well as good ol' boys. Plus, there are four additional tracks, three live, including a great reading of "Crossroad Blues."
Molly Hatchet exists today with no original band members, relegating them basically as a cover band. If you want the classic triple threat lineup of Hlubeck, Roland and Steve Holland, not to mention the unmistakable voice of Danny Joe Brown, get the debut "Molly Hatchet" and this one. And set your cruise control if you listen in the truck unless you want a speeding ticket.
Free Music Review: Excellent cd but not Skynryd
Hit: 5 Stars
I dont know how people can say this is just like Skynryd. Skynryd has sappy, over done ballads.Hatchet just purely rocks out with amazing guitars. Im happy that I bought this cd because I loved the song Flirtin with Disaster, and wanted to check this band out more. The cd is well worth the price, and Boogie No More is one of the greatest rock songs ive ever heard. The guitar solo in the middle will have your hand banging, guranteed. I dont know to much of this band, but they deserve more credit then they get. Free Music Review: Molly Hatchet's Best Album Ever
Hit: 5 Stars
FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER is Molly Hatchet's best album ever, the culmination of its blend of Skynyrd/Outlaws-style Southern rock with Ted Nugent/Foghat-style blues-metal. "Whiskey Man" is a warning against any addiction (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, food, caffeine), the title track is both celebratory AND cautionary, and "Long Time" could be an expression of wanting to reunite with old friends. The rest of the songs are good-time boogies that round out an incredible album made even better by remastering. Also to be considered is Molly Hatchet's advocacy of sanctions against countries which convict foreign tourists for trumped-up crimes, which makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
