3 out of 5 stars Molly Hatchet - 'The Essential Molly Hatchet' (Sony).......2006-04-23

Simply,a fourteen track 'best of' compilation of the beloved southern rock band.This may sound silly,but I believe that,anymore I've more or less have lost total interest in Molly Hatchet.I mean,let's face the harsh truth,they're REALLY not Molly Hatchet without their late vocalist Danny Joe Brown.I just may need to be at a late night bash to properly enjoy this CD,which has their three biggest hits,"Bounty Hunter","Gator County" and "Flirtin' With Disaster" along with other Hatchet goods like "Beating The Odds","Bloody Reunion" and the rocking "Straight Shooter".Bet the band will still carry on.Last time I'd seen them out on tour,I checked out their site and it appeared they didn't have,even ONE original member.Great music,just some sad memories here.

4 out of 5 stars More Danny Joe Brown, Please!.......2005-11-12

10 of the 14 tracks on this album absolutely kick ass. However, there is a run of four songs that should not have been included on a greatest hits compilation. I will let you figure out which songs I am talking about, but I will give you a hint, the original lead singer and man who came to symbolize the band was not involved in them. I'm sorry, and I do not mean to turn this negative, because I have a fondness for the Jacksonville Boys, but no song that Danny Joe Brown was not a part of should have been included here.

Good selection, average. Jukin City is real, and it should be there. Enough said.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Of Both Molly Hatchet Eras.......2004-02-02

THE ESSENTIAL MOLLY HATCHET features the best of both the Danny Joe Brown era AND the Jimmy Farrar era of Molly Hatchet. All of these songs epitomize the group's unique mix of Skynyrd/Outlaws-style Southern rock and Ted Nugent/Foghat-style blues-metal. Moreover, all of the surviving members of Molly Hatchet, past and present, currently advocate sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, so you know these guys have brains as well as brawn. If you're building a Molly Hatchet collection, start with this one, GREATEST HITS, SUPER HITS, FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER, MOLLY HATCHET, BEATIN' THE ODDS, NO GUTS NO GLORY, LIVE AT THE AGORA BALLROOM, GREATEST HITS LIVE, DOUBLE TROUBLE LIVE, CUT TO THE BONE, KINGDOM OF XII, SILENT REIGN OF HEROES, LOCKED AND LOADED, and WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.

4 out of 5 stars Gator Rock.......2003-05-31

Just like the Allman Brothers and Lynynrd Skynyrd before them, Molly Hatchet also hails from Jax, Florida. So it's no coincidence that they sound a little alike. But make no mistake; despite the comparisons, few can dispute that they created a legacy and following all their own. The band got its name from a woman who lived in Salem, Mass. in the 17th century.

This album rocks from start to finish. They have their own version of The Allman Brothers' "Dreams I'll Never See". They take their shot at disco with "Boogie No More". There's "Beatin' The Odds" (one of four tracks sung by Jimmy Farrar instead of Danny Joe Brown) which talks about overcoming obstacles which they've had many of. They celebrate their southern roots on "Sweet Dixie". "Fall Of The Peacemakers" is an anti-war anthem of sorts and "Respect Me In the Morning" focuses on a stormy relationship in which both parties tell their sides. Two of their biggest hits "Bounty Hunter" and "Flirtin' With Disaster" start the album and "Gator Country" was taken from the 1985 album "Double Trouble Live". Keep in mind that the focus is more on the music than on the lyrics. Many of the tracks have long guitar solos and therefore long running times.
