Molly Hatchet are an American rock band formed by guitarist Dave Hlubek in Jacksonville, Florida in 1971. They enjoyed commercial success during the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s.
The band released six studio albums on Epic Records between 1978 and 1984, including the platinum-selling hit records Molly Hatchet (1978), Flirtin' with Disaster (1979) and Beatin' the Odds (1980). They also had charting singles on the US Billboard charts, including "Flirtin' with Disaster", "The Rambler", "Bloody Reunion" and "Satisfied Man".
The two albums featured in this collection were released in 1981 and 1983 before the split with Epic, and although Molly Hatchet have released many more studio albums since then, none have been as successful as their early albums.
Despite having no original members left, Molly Hatchet continues to perform and record. The core members of the current incarnation of the band are half of the Lightning Strikes Twice lineup (guitarist Bobby Ingram and keyboardist John Galvin), plus longtime serving bassist Tim Lindsey.
