Molly Hatchet comes out of the chute kicking and screaming on this, the band's debut effort. With obvious influences including fellow Floridians
Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as
the Allman Brothers,
Mountain, and any number of other hard rock bands,
Hatchet didn't take long to catch on with what would become legions of fans. Songs like "Bounty Hunter" and the cover of
the Allman Brothers Band's "Dreams I'll Never See" helped to build a solid base of fans who still hold tight to their
Molly Hatchet rock & roll dreams. All in all, a splendid debut album from a band that, in true Southern fashion, has had its share of ups and downs. And
Danny Joe Brown proves that he is a singer to be reckoned with. ~ Michael B. Smith
