More Jimmy Farrar.......2006-08-19

My good friend Mr. Farrar also sang on "Take No Prisoners", thank you very much. Buy both now and save !$!

Hands down the greatest Southern Rock album ever.......2005-10-13

This album is so darn great it isn't even funny. Don't listen to the idiot reviewer "vespertin". For giving this a one star rating, he's either very stupid or has extremely bad taste in music. Farrar's voice really fits this album superbly, so don't listen to this idiot!!! I bought this just a few months after buying my first car cassette deck, and boy did I ever wear this superb southern fried rock album out!!! This was my first purchase in that category. This album feels like a greatest hits because every single song is so awesome, but some of the highlights would be "Beatin the odds", "The Rambler", "Few and far between", "Sailor", and "Penthouse Pauper". I got into these guys way before I did LYNYRD SKYNYRD, and really they're quite a bit better in my opinion. Molly Hatchets first three albums, beat Lynyrd Skynyrd's first three albums, by a long shot. I remember when this one was fighting AC/DC'S "Back in Black" on the billboard top album's list back in 1980. One week AC/DC would be number one, then the next week MOLLY HATCHET would get the number one spot, and back and forth over a couple month period. Even though their self titled debut was a masterpiece, this one is even better. If you're thinking about getting into southern rock, I would definitely start with this southern fried gem first. BELIEVE ME, YOU WILL THANK ME!!!

Another Great Molly Hatchet Album.......2003-10-05

BEATIN' THE ODDS is one of the nine best Molly Hatchet albums of all time. The title track is a great sports anthem, and "Dead And Gone" warns against the dangers of any addiction, whether it be tobacco, alcohol, drugs, food, or caffeine. This album is an essential part of any serious rock collection.

Don't be misled.......2003-03-31

Farrar's voice just doesn't fit the music. This one is only a flea's shadow in comparison with the first two albums.

Good stuff.......2003-02-16

I saw Hatchet in 1981 with Jimmy Farrar and it was a really exciting show. What most fans don't realize is that Molly Hatchet had some really good musicians in it. Bruce Crump is a great drummer and well respected in the rock community. Several band members are fine musicians.

Beatin The Odds is a well played record and well produced. Tom Werman, famed rock producer did the chores here and the quality shows it. There is not a wasted track here and this is one CD all fans of southern rock should own.
