Named after a legendary Southern prostitute who allegedly beheaded and mutilated her clients, Jacksonville´s Molly Hatchet meld loud hard rock boogie with guitar jam-oriented Southern rock. They, like many of the bands who grew out of the Southern states, preferred to live life walking it like they talked it. Blazing a trail akin to their musical and spiritual forefathers Lynyrd Skynyrd, there was little room for frippery in both life and music, but with a dedication to their chosen craft, an understanding that you lived life hard, be it at home or on the road.
