Molly Hatchet firmly cemented their place in music history in the late seventies. They stood
alongside other iconic Southern rock bands out of Jacksonville, Florida, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd
and the Allman Brothers. A perfect mixture of English invasion rock, blues, country, and gospel
remains the unique sound of Molly Hatchet.
They were the hardest hitting of the Southern rock bands at the time when, in 1978, Epic
Records released Molly Hatchet’s self-titled debut album. It reached multi-platinum status, and
the band established their reputation of working hard, playing tough and living fast through
intense touring. During this time, they were on the road with Aerosmith, Bob Seger, The Rolling
Stones, and many others.
In 1979, Molly Hatchet’s second album Flirtin’ with Disaster was released, and it also quickly
achieved multi-platinum status. It skyrocketed the band into the stratosphere and performing an
average of two hundred and fifty shows per year kept them busy.
Molly Hatchet next released Beatin’ the Odds (1980), followed by Take No Prisoners (1981), No
Guts… No Glory (1983) The Deed Is Done (1984) and Double Trouble Live (1985).
In 1987, Bobby Ingram joined the band as lead guitarist and songwriter. They continued to play
over two hundred dates a year. In 1989 they recorded Lightning Strikes Twice on Capitol
Records. The Greatest Hits album was released in 1991 and certified gold. It was followed by
In 1996 Devil’s Canyon (the first studio album in six years) was recorded in Hamburg, Germany
on SPV/CBH Records with producers Kalle Trapp and Bobby Ingram. The album was voted the
number one rock record in Europe in 1996 with rave reviews.
It was followed by Silent Reign of Heroes (CMC International, 1998), Kingdom of XII
(Sanctuary, 2000), 25th Anniversary: Best of Re-Recorded (SPV Records, 2003), Warriors of the
Rainbow Bridge (Steamhammer, 2005), Locked and Loaded – Live (Steamhammer, 2006),
Justice (Steamhammer, 2010), Greatest Hits II (SPV Records, 2011), and most recently
Battleground - Live (Steamhammer, 2019).
Molly Hatchet continues their worldwide tour, performing classic hits such as “Flirtin’ with
Disaster,” “Devil’s Canyon,” “Gator Country,” “Whiskey Man,” and “Dreams I’ll Never See.”
The band’s current lineup consists of long-time members Bobby Ingram on lead guitar and John
Galvin on keyboards, as well as Tim Lindsey on bass guitar and Shawn Beamer on drums, with
Jimmy Elkins on vocals. Molly Hatchet continues to honor the legacies of those members who
passed away (including Danny Joe Brown, David Hlubek, and Phil McCormack) by keeping
the music alive, performing across the United States, and throughout the world.
Molly Hatchet celebrated their 40th anniversary with a world tour and the release of the double
CD and triple vinyl live album titled Battleground. Recorded in both Germany and Switzerland
on the SPV/Steamhammer label and featuring cover art by famed artist Paul Raymond Gregory
(Dio, Uriah Heep, Saxon), Battleground has garnered rave reviews by their loyal fans, as well as
the national and international press.
According to Bobby Ingram, "In recording this album, we compiled a four-decade long catalog
of songs that our friends wanted to hear. They would tell us what songs they wanted on the
album, and we would record them. Some of these songs have never been recorded on a live
stage before, and we were honored and proud to be able to perform them for many generations of
past, present, and future Southern rock fans."
After forty plus years Molly Hatchet is still workin’ hard, playin’ tough, livin’ fast, and Flirtin’
with Disaster!!!
