5.0 out of 5 stars Southern Staple, May 18, 2006

By	PJY "pjsailor" (Cumming, Ga USA) - See all my reviews

There is no way you can play this CD often or loud enough. When I first heard this album (yeah back then it required a needle) I was blown away. And its impact some 25 years later has not lessoned. This album rips. 'Bounty Hunter' and 'The Price You Pay' have been favorite songs of mine since the day they first hit the wax. Southern rock fan or just music lover this album hits the mark.

I could wax nostalgic about the powerful rhythms or the sublime lyrics against an angst filled guitar but who is kidding who? This is AC/DC southern style and for those of you who have never heard it, you need to. One listen and you will know what you've missed listening to that MTV [...].

5.0 out of 5 stars Southern rock at its' finest, December 24, 2004

By	Brandon Creer "I am not stuck in the 70's" (Eastern Idaho) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of my favorite southern rock albums of all time! People tried to say they were copying Skynyrd because of their three guitar attack but Blackfoot(another must have)had more of a Skynyrd sound in my opinion. That triple guitar work just wraps around you in Dreams I'll Never See. The whole album grabs you and drags you along for a great ride. Danny Joe Brown's vocals are a perfect fit, too bad he had to leave (due to health issues if I recall) after their second album (Flirtin' With Disaster). If you like Southern Rock, this album and Flirtin' definitely should be on your shelf. Another band you should check out is The Four Horsemen. They aren't Southern Fried, actually they're from above the border but the music has a definite southern edge and a bluesy feel to it. Nobody Said it was Easy and Gettin' Pretty Good at Barely Gettin' By are definitely worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Molly Hatchet's Debut Is An Ace, December 16, 2003

By A Customer

Molly Hatchet's debut album is an ace. The claim that they were somehow less original than Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Outlaws seems to be more a result of the fact that Skynyrd and Hatchet share a hometown (Jacksonville, Fla.) than the music itself, because the Outlaws, who are from Tampa, never had that problem. "Bounty Hunter" is about a guy who kills criminals for money, "The Creeper" warns us not to feel too secure in our safety and looks, "The Price You Pay" tells the tale of a convicted murderer facing the braided rope, "I'll Be Running" describes the feeling of being just a few steps ahead of danger, and "Trust Your Old Friend" says that people need people. Overall, a total masterpiece the first time out.
