Released in September 1979, Flirtin' With Disaster is the second studio album by the Jacksonville, Florida-based band Molly Hatchet. It is the band’s most successful and definitive work, cementing their place as the "heavyweights" of the Southern Rock scene.

💿 Album Overview

  • Label: Epic Records (Catalog No. JE 36110)

  • Producer: Tom Werman (known for his work with Cheap Trick and Mötley Crüe)

  • Genre: Southern Rock, Hard Rock, Boogie Rock

  • Recording Location: Bee Jay Studios, Orlando, and Record Plant, LA

The Sound

If Lynyrd Skynyrd was the soul of Southern Rock, Molly Hatchet was the brawn. Flirtin' With Disaster features a "triple-guitar attack" that pushed the genre closer to heavy metal. The production is crisp and punchy, driven by Danny Joe Brown’s distinctively growling, boisterous vocals and a wall of distorted guitars.

🎼 Track Listing

Side A:

  1. Whiskey Man – A hard-driving opener about the toll of hard living.

  2. It’s All Over Now – A boogie-rock cover of the Bobby Womack classic (famously covered by the Rolling Stones).

  3. One Man's Pleasure

  4. Jukin' City

  5. Boogie No More – A six-minute epic that follows the "Free Bird" formula: starting as a bluesy crawl and ending in a blistering, high-speed guitar jam.

Side B: 6. Flirtin' with Disaster – The band's signature song and an anthem of the era. 7. Good Rockin' 8. Gunsmoke 9. Long Time 10. Let the Good Times Roll
