Free Music Review: The Greatest from the Greatest
Hit: 5 Stars



First off allow me to say that I am not one who calls Molly Hatchet a "second tier" southern rock group or one believes they'll always be in "Skynyrd's shadow" or anyone elses shadow for that matter. I don't believe Molly Hatchet ever wanted to be in competiion with Lynyrd Skynyrd nor did they want to sound like them, and they obviously didn't, for anyone who's ears are not adjusted properly.

It's my personal opinion that Molly Hatchet is indeed the greatest southern rockers of all time, your opinion may differ--that's OK. But for people to say that they weren't talented or that they copied some other band or other such nonsense is just that, nonsense.

Now onto the review. I've read several other reviews for this Expanded Greatest hits CD, many of them seem to think that it doesn't have enough songs or the wrong songs, one even thought it should include the Phil McCormack/Bobby Ingram years! Phil didn't even join the group until 1996, this Cd was firt issued in 1990! Besides this is a collection of the Epic years.

Although I agree a Greatest Hits Cd from one of your favorite groups never seems to have ALL the songs you want to hear, remember this is not an anthology, just a single disc greatest hits marketed with the sole purpose of luring both newcomers and old fans in for the kill. The new fans want to hear what Molly Hatchet is all about and still be left wanting more. The old fans who already have all their albums are lured in with the new bonus tracks. So take it for what it is, a handful of tracks meant to leave you wanting more.

The selection is fair enough, very heavy on their first 2 records which were by most accounts, their best. The only real beef I have with the selection is the blatant disregard for the Jimmy Farrar years, only 2 tracks from those years and those 2 are the live versions sung by Danny Joe Brown from the DOUBLE TROUBLE LIVE album. They should've used the original studio versions with Jimmy or even a live track with Jimmy, but not just leave him out all together.

And as far as the new tracks, Ragtop deluxe and Shake the House Down? Spare me, those songs pale in comparison to the classics of the early years. Those are only on there as a gimmick to get fans to buy a collection of songs they already have, again.

So if you're a new fan curious as to what Hatchet is all about, go ahead buy this one, or either of their first 2 albums, the Self-titled or Flirtin' with Disaster--you can't go wrong with either one. Heck, while you're at it get Beatin' the Odds too.
