Molly Hatchet
's career, for many, boils down to
Flirtin' With Disaster
and assorted other songs from their uneven albums. Originally released in 1990,
Greatest Hits
does a fine job of summarizing the highlights, and the 2001 reissue goes even further, adding three tracks that weren't on the original 12-track collection, along with liner notes from
Martin Popoff
. The end result is the definitive summary on the pedestrian
Southern boogie
band -- the only other album outside of
that most fans will need. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
