Editor's note

Molly Hatchet, the Southern rock band from Jacksonville.

A hard-driving guitar band that broke through with 'Flirtin' with Disaster' in the late 1970s.

For a quick sense of their thing, put on 'Flirtin' with Disaster' and 'Beatin' The Odds.' That's the sound right there.

They spent years touring before 'Flirtin' with Disaster' hit the Billboard Top 20 in 1978. That song, along with 'Fall Of The Peacemakers' and 'Dreams I'll Never See,' set their template: heavy riffs grounded in Southern rock. It's a sound they kept going on later tracks like 'Beatin' The Odds' and 'I'll Be Running'.

The band formed in Jacksonville in the early 1970s with Danny Joe Brown on vocals and Dave Hlubek on guitar. After 'Flirtin' with Disaster' broke through, they released albums like 'Molly Hatchet II' and 'Beatin' the Odds' through the 1980s.

Archive material and source history

Molly Hatchet formed in Jacksonville, Florida in the early 1970s. The original lineup included drummer Bruce Crump, guitarist Dave Hlubek, bassist Banner Thomas, rhythm guitarist Duane Roland, lead guitarist Steve Holland, and vocalist Danny Joe Brown. They spent years building a following through steady touring before their sound really connected with a wider audience.

Their 1978 album 'Flirtin' with Disaster' became their commercial breakthrough, anchored by the title track that reached the Billboard Top 20. That song, along with tracks like 'Fall Of The Peacemakers' and 'Dreams I'll Never See,' defined their approach: hard-driving guitar riffs with a Southern rock foundation.

Molly Hatchet went on to release several more albums through the 1980s, including 'Molly Hatchet II' and 'Beatin' the Odds.' Their music maintained that blend of heavy guitar work and Southern rock harmonies that first caught attention with 'Flirtin' with Disaster.'
