When Lynyrd Skynyrd’s plane crashed in October 1977 a mere four dates into their “Street Survivors” tour, many felt that southern rock had died. However, the South did duly rise again, with the release a little over a year later of the eponymously titled, platinum debut - from Molly Hatchet.Formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1971 by guitarist Dave Hlubek, and fronted by singer, Danny Joe Brown, Molly Hatchet were easily able to fill arenas across the States by the time their second LP “Flirtin’ With Disaster” was released in 1979. By 1980, Danny Joe Brown had been replaced with Jimmy Farrar on vocals, and it was this line-up that appears on the first CD of this set, “Take No Prisoners”. Whereas their first three long players had been housed in sleeves painted by famed artist Frank Frazetta, it was fantasy illustrator Boris Vallejo who painted their latest opus. The album now includes radio edits of ‘Lady Luck’ and ‘Power Play’, as well as a memorable run through ‘Mississippi Queen’, with Molly Hatchet joined by Ted Nugent. On stage is where this band pulled no punches, and it’s no surprise that their label released exclusive, vinyl only promo LPs to radio stations, with CD1 completed by a show recorded at Lakeland Civic Center Arena in 1980, and simply titled “Live”.
