4.0 out of 5 stars Not the original lineup..., January 14, 2002

By	T. A Molina "T.A.M." (san antonio, texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

But, this cd rocks! And so does the "new" Molly Hatchet! I've been a MH fan since their first "8 track" and to be honest, I hadn't bought any of their newer stuff, I took a chance on KINGDOM, and I'm happy I did! It's a damn good cd! Classic rock fans, do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hatchet Line-Up Stays True to Southern Rock Sound, November 22, 2001

By	"liam423" (Lewis Center, OH USA) - See all my reviews

The current Molly Hatchet line-up does not include any of the original members of band. However, as long as guitarist Bobby Ingram remains on board, especially with longtime keyboard player John Galvin and excellent lead vocalist Phil McCormack, the Molly Hatchet legacy will continue untarnished.

Many of the "classic-rock" bands that record new music are unable to capture the magic that brought them their original appeal. This isn't the case with "Kingdom of XII" - the Hatchet sound hasn't changed much since the mid-70s and the formula isn't damaged here. That said, the new material is compelling enough to warrent a purchase of the CD. "One Last Ride" is a true standout track.

God Bless Danny Joe Brown, Hatchet's original vocalist who is now in a difficult battle with diabetes. But also be thankful that Bobby Ingram has had the drive to keep Molly Hatchet a vital band.

If you have the chance to see the current line-up on tour, don't miss out. These guys give all they have, especially Phil McCormack. Their performance of "Dreams I'll Never See" is worth a $25 ticket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Molly Hatchet rides again!, January 3, 2006

By	M. Lightfoot "sideways" (E.S.,VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By now it's no surprise that the lineup of players has changed but the new blood has brought something fresh to southern rock. Its heavier but still has the Hatchet flavor. The new approach is a natural evolution of the southern rock sound. Get it, you won't be disappointed!
