Let's enjoy some Southern Rock this week. Your Album of the Week is the self-titled debut of Molly Hatchet. I've really only got two comments on this album. The first is that this album has one of the all-time great album covers. Menacing and beautiful, all at the same time. The second is that the cover of The Allman Brothers track Dreams is just totally cool. I'm not really sure why they changed the name though.
I guess I have one more thing to say. I don't think the album is great, other than those two things, but I do think it's a worthy listen. I dished out $4.99 for it on Amazon.

Own it and think its great! Top to bottom as good as, if not better than, Flirtin' With Disaster. However, I may have bias since it was played extremely often in my circle of friends starting with me of course.
Can't for the life of me understand how anyone could not think this was great?
Only one complaint. This 3 album needs a serious remastering treatment and/or deluxe edition treatment.
This is an awesome album, anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. And even though it's awesome, it's not my favorite Hatchet album. I still think the followup is a better album, as well as "No Guts...No Glory", but this is one hell of a debut on top of being one hell of an album.
I also wonder why this hasn't been remastered. Albums 2, 3 & have been, "No Guts..." hasn't, yet the followup up to that has been. All were released by Epic, so it's annoyingly odd.
Great pick this week.
