Named after a legendary Southern prostitute who allegedly beheaded and mutilated her clients, Jacksonville's Molly Hatchet welded loud hard-rock boogie with guitar jam-oriented Southern rock.
Formed in 1975, the group's lineup featured three guitarists - Dave Hlubek, Steve Holland, and Duane Roland - plus vocalist Danny Joe Brown, bassist Banner Thomas, and drummer Bruce Crump. The group recorded a self-titled debut album in 1978, which quickly went platinum; the follow-up, 'Flirtin' With Disaster', was even more successful, selling over two million copies.
For this album Danny Joe Brown was replaced by Jimmy Farrar on vocals. Originally released in 1981 on the Epic record label, the band blaze across the face of rock'n'roll with another Southern/hard rock set, even paying homage to 1950s rock & roll, with a cover of 'Long Tall Sally'. The album made it straight into the Billboard charts.
