I took out the albums pictured above for a last minute photo to include in the first issue of the Critical Hit Parader zine. All feature classic paintings by the master artist, Frank Frazetta. @frazettagirls

Man, those Molly Hatchet album covers were deceiving! I, like you (and certainly every other metal fan), was expecting Saxon or Cirith Ungol style music and lyrics, but instead got Lynyrd Skynyrd!!! Still, once you get past this incongruence, the music was solid. The song Flirtin' With Disaster is one of my favs. :)
Great music, but not at all what the metal Frazetta covers promised. Here's to Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, ZZ Top, Black Oak Arkansas & "Jim Dandy" Mangrum!

You were way more into Southern Rock than I was :)
